Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TriwizardTrivia at none against The Sorting Owl Quiz's shown. TriwizardTrivia also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). The Sorting Owl Quiz's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 364). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TriwizardTrivia holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 364 and 1.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of TriwizardTrivia's written reviews are positive against 74% of The Sorting Owl Quiz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
