Remind holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remind has 1.8M ratings behind it against 132K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 12% of Schoology's written reviews are positive against 44% of Remind's.
