Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ClassDojo at 4.8 against Kids A's 3.6. ClassDojo also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 35%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Kids A's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
