Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ACU Life at 5.0 against ClassCover's 3.4. ACU Life also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). ClassCover's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
