Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MA Squared at none against KoriQuest's 2. MA Squared also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). KoriQuest's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
