Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: the Q at 5.0 against Sequence Decoder's 4.6. the Q also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Sequence Decoder's advantage is ratings volume (241 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
