Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Quick Graph at 94% against HP Prime Lite's 48%. Quick Graph also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (423 vs 42). HP Prime Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
