Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Jiffy at 4.8 against Quartermaster's 3.7. Jiffy also leads on ratings volume (388 vs 3) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Quartermaster's advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 34%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Jiffy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jiffy has 388 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Jiffy's written reviews are positive against 44% of Quartermaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jiffy ships an update every 2 weeks, Quartermaster every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
