Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sad at none against Quotes's 5. Sad also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Quotes's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 18 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support 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. Quotes sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. Sad asks for nothing beyond the download.
Quotes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Quotes's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Quotes ships an update every 2 weeks, Sad every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
