Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: QDQ at 100% against CGX's 55%. QDQ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (13.1 vs 15.4). CGX's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (637 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CGX sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and QDQ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
