Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StoryMax at none against GLUT Campus's 1. StoryMax also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). GLUT Campus's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
