Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kenshō at none against Quell+'s 6. Kenshō also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 487). Quell+'s advantage is review sentiment (98% vs 66%) and chart position (#81 vs unranked). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
