Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LinkEdu at none against cetera's 1. LinkEdu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). cetera's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (103 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
