Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Homeschooled at Free against Heads Up!'s $1.99. Homeschooled also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Heads Up!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.3). On review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
