Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: A at none against PhysQuiz's 1. A also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). PhysQuiz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 16 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
