Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Guidebook at none against Campus Carts's shown. Guidebook also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Campus Carts's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
