Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QRS Reporting at 4.0 against ESS 41's 1.4. QRS Reporting also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). ESS 41's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
