Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Quince at 4.9 against J.Crew's 3.1. Quince also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 48%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). J.Crew's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
