Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: QuickFox at Free against Barrage's $1.99. QuickFox also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (295 vs 27). Barrage's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 14). On ads there is nothing between them.
