Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Learn ICU at none against Q4uDoc's shown. Learn ICU also leads on ratings volume (191 vs 3) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Q4uDoc's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
