Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HuskerBase at none against Husker Extra's 1. HuskerBase also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Husker Extra's advantage is ratings volume (654 vs 6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price there is nothing between them.
