Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PenmanshipBook at none against Scoolinary's shown. PenmanshipBook also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Scoolinary's advantage is chart position (#42 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
