Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Google Cloud at 3.4 against Q4 Go's 1.0. Google Cloud also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). Q4 Go's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
