Verdict

The call

QLess and KCCircle both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of KCCircle's written reviews are positive against 50% of QLess's. QLess's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 19) and iOS requirement (12.3 vs 18.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
