Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pinquire at 5.0 against Q's 3.0. Pinquire also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Q's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
