Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ClassLink LaunchPad at 4.2 against StudentVUE's 2.1. ClassLink LaunchPad also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 17%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). StudentVUE's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
