Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BYU at 4.7 against MyUSU's 2.8. BYU also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 17%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). MyUSU's advantage is iOS requirement (14.2 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
