Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cursive Handwriting at 3.0 against ABC cloud's 1.0. Cursive Handwriting also leads on ratings volume (4 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). ABC cloud's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 14%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 18 months). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
