Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Scale at Free against QD3000's $0.99. Scale also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). QD3000's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
