Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Geometry Tutor at none against Brilliant's shown. Geometry Tutor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Brilliant's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (33K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
