Verdict

The clearest difference is ads: Academy Director at none against Attendable's shown. Academy Director also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Attendable's advantage is ratings volume (153 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
