Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Sous at free with in-app purchases against Scoolinary's subscription. Sous also leads on ads (none vs shown). Scoolinary's advantage is ratings volume (176 vs 1) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Scoolinary sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Sous sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Scoolinary against 5.0 for Sous. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scoolinary has 176 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
