Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Quick Type Check at 5.0 against Guideys's 4.4. Quick Type Check also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (daily vs every 10 days). Guideys's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (68 vs 4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
