Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IKNS at 5.0 against Schoology's 1.3. IKNS also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Schoology's advantage is ratings volume (133K vs 1) and chart position (#53 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
