Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Quickies at 3.5 against Tic's 2.9. Tic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Quickies sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Tic asks for nothing beyond the download.
Quickies holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Quickies's written reviews are positive against 29% of Tic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
