The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Questsprouts at every 2 days against ReadingIQ's every 2 months. Questsprouts also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). ReadingIQ's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
