Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Studi at 100% against MCQS's 50%. Studi also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (135 vs 5). MCQS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
