Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Q at 3.0 against CarbonHRM's 2.5. Q also leads on ratings volume (56 vs 8). CarbonHRM's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (43% vs 19%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Q holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Q has 56 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Q's written reviews are positive against 43% of CarbonHRM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Q ships an update every 3 months, CarbonHRM every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
