Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Classkick at 3.1 against SMP eReader's 1.4. Classkick also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 11 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 8%). SMP eReader's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
