Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quanser Interactive Labs at none against EnginPrep's 1. Quanser Interactive Labs also leads on iOS requirement (11.3 vs 16.4). EnginPrep's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
