Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Qestra at 5.0 against Planz's 4.5. Qestra also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Planz's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planz sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Qestra sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Qestra holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planz has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Planz ships an update every 3 weeks, Qestra every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
