Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Qsets at none against FlashCards's 1. Qsets also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). FlashCards's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
