Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Impossible Quiz at Free against The Impossible Game's $0.99. Impossible Quiz also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). The Impossible Game's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). On device support there is nothing between them.
