Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swaggin at none against The Queue's 1. Swaggin also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). The Queue's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (30 vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
