The clearest difference is rating: QuivAR at 4.6 against ElkNut's 4.3. QuivAR also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 63%). ElkNut's advantage is ratings volume (260 vs 25) and chart position (#179 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ElkNut sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year and QuivAR sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
