Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Eagles Nest at 5.0 against Blackboard's 4.6. The Eagles Nest also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). Blackboard's advantage is ratings volume (445K vs 1) and chart position (#113 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
