Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ClassDojo at 4.8 against ClassLink LaunchPad's 4.2. ClassDojo also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (4.1M vs 7.4K). ClassLink LaunchPad's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 22) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
