The clearest difference is ads: The Active Circle at none against Ipsos GeoQuest's shown. The Active Circle also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Ipsos GeoQuest's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
