Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Quarterdeck Pro at 5.0 against MyerList's 4.1. Quarterdeck Pro also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). MyerList's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
