Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Planting Population Calculator at none against Quick Commodities's 6. Planting Population Calculator also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Quick Commodities's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
