Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Classkick at 3.1 against BookWidgets's 1.7. Classkick also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 12%) and ratings volume (727 vs 30). BookWidgets's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
