Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SSL Now at 5.0 against StudentVUE's 2.1. SSL Now also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). StudentVUE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (991 vs 1). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
