Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AEP Now at 2.6 against GettingOut's 1.9. AEP Now also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). GettingOut's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 5) and chart position (#30 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
