Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pupil at none against Folderly's 10. Pupil also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Folderly's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
