Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Quit Vaping at free with in-app purchases against Pause's subscription. Quit Vaping also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). Pause's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
