Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Clever at 2.7 against Schoology's 1.3. Clever also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 14%). Schoology's advantage is ratings volume (133K vs 10K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Clever holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Schoology has 133K ratings behind it against 10K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of Schoology's written reviews are positive against 33% of Clever's.
Schoology ships an update every 2 months, Clever every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
