Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BigFuture School at none against MyFirstJob's 10. BigFuture School also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 1) and chart position (#7 vs unranked). MyFirstJob's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
