Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: dCourseWeb at free against Study Gateway's subscription. dCourseWeb also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Study Gateway's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 40%) and rating (4.2 vs 3.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
