Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Score Quick at Free against Paperback Vol. 2's $4.99. Score Quick also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Paperback Vol. 2's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (48 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
