Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Quote at 100% against The Timeline's 50%. Quote also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2). The Timeline's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
