Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: StudyCard at 100% against Mecenat's 64%. StudyCard also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Mecenat's advantage is ratings volume (74 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
