Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Scholar at Free against Punctuation Marks's $2.99. Scholar also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 541). Punctuation Marks's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
