Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GLUT Campus at 100% against Waypoint EDU's 61%. GLUT Campus also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Waypoint EDU's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
