Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sparklite at 4.7 against Slash Quest!'s 4.0. Sparklite also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 58%) and ratings volume (588 vs 77). Slash Quest!'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
