Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SeatBoost at none against QRTO's shown. SeatBoost also leads on ratings volume (975 vs 3) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). QRTO's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
QRTO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SeatBoost has 975 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
SeatBoost ships an update every 3 weeks, QRTO fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
