Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Qalam at 5.0 against قلم's 3.4. Qalam also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). قلم's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
