Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Saerok at none against KyouStudy's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Saerok sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and KyouStudy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
