Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sketchy Learning at 5.0 against Summarizer Local's 4.0. Sketchy Learning also leads on ratings volume (32 vs 1). Summarizer Local's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement 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. Sketchy Learning sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $289.99 per year. Summarizer Local asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sketchy Learning holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sketchy Learning has 32 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Sketchy Learning's written reviews are positive against 75% of Summarizer Local's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
