Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Canada Map Quiz at 4.6 against Flags and Capitals's 4.0. Canada Map Quiz also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.6). Flags and Capitals's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
