Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cooley at none against Quimbee's 2. Cooley also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (14.2 vs 18.0). Quimbee's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
