Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: QCY at 325 against Pamu's 4. QCY also leads on review sentiment (18% vs 6%). Pamu's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 2.8) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pamu holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QCY has 325 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of QCY's written reviews are positive against 6% of Pamu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
QCY ships an update fortnightly, Pamu monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
