Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Q Match at none against Soul Chef's 10. Q Match also leads on ads (none vs shown). Soul Chef's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
