Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Quitzilla at 4.8 against Polyphasic sleep's 3.8. Quitzilla also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 50%) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 47). Polyphasic sleep's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 10 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
