Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Clash Plus at Free against Quantumult X's $9.99. Clash Plus also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Quantumult X's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 86) and chart position (#26 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
