Verdict
The clearest difference is price: My Study Life at Free against Choiceworks Calendar's $14.99. My Study Life also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (6.2K vs 32). Choiceworks Calendar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
