Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quade at none against Book Tracker's 6. Quade also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.4). Book Tracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (750 vs 7). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
