Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: School Enews at none against ClassCover's shown. School Enews also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (42% vs 19%). ClassCover's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
