Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Clever at 2.7 against StudentVUE's 2.1. Clever also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 17%) and ratings volume (9.9K vs 991). StudentVUE's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
