Verdict
ATC Mania and Qiks! both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of ATC Mania's written reviews are positive against 26% of Qiks!'s. ATC Mania also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). Qiks!'s advantage is ratings volume (8.5K vs 30). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ATC Mania sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Qiks! sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Qiks! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Qiks! has 8.5K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of ATC Mania's written reviews are positive against 26% of Qiks!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
