Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IGOTIN at 4.7 against Schools App's 1.9. IGOTIN also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 14%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Schools App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IGOTIN sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Schools App asks for nothing beyond the download.
IGOTIN holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.9.
