Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TE Classmate at 5.0 against ParentVUE's 2.0. TE Classmate also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). ParentVUE's advantage is ratings volume (127 vs 2) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
