Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RackLink Discovery at 100% against Q's 13%. RackLink Discovery also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Q's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 36 months) and ratings volume (53 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
