Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Quran Phonics at 5.0 against Kortext's 3.9. Quran Phonics also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Kortext's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and chart position (#111 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
