Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Quince at 82% against Conchology's 33%. Quince also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (9.4K vs 5). Conchology's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Quince holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quince has 9.4K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Conchology's written reviews are positive against 82% of Quince's.
