Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Boost Buddies at 3.9 against Back To School Game's 3.0. Boost Buddies also leads on ratings volume (60 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 10 months). Back To School Game's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
