Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: GED at free with in-app purchases against StudyPug's subscription. GED also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (79% vs 59%). StudyPug's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 677). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
