Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Spearfish School District at 3.9 against READsquared's 1.9. Spearfish School District also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). READsquared's advantage is review sentiment (17% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Spearfish School District holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 35 respectively.
