Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Widget Trivia at none against Sporcle's 6. Widget Trivia also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). Sporcle's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 1) and chart position (#26 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
