Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Correct Quotation at 4.0 against Rateel's 3.7. The Correct Quotation also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Rateel's advantage is ratings volume (115 vs 5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
The Correct Quotation holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rateel has 115 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Rateel's written reviews are positive against 50% of The Correct Quotation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rateel ships an update every 3 weeks, The Correct Quotation weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 9, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
