Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: QR 2 CSV at none against Qrafter's shown. QR 2 CSV also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Qrafter's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
