Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Flow Free at Free against Quadoku's $4.99. Flow Free also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 20). Quadoku's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
