Quant Data also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). Unusual Whales's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (645 vs 43).

Both are free to download. Unusual Whales sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Quant Data sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $74.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
