Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Counter≜ at 65% against QCY's 18%. Counter≜ also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 324). QCY's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
