Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Quick Message at 4.8 against MEW's 3.5. Quick Message also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 37%) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 357). MEW's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
