Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Curio at 100% against Qwyga's 70%. Curio also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Qwyga's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
