Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SnapBridge at none against GoPro Quik's 6. SnapBridge also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). GoPro Quik's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
