Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: QuickBid at 4.7 against CrewBid's 3.9. CrewBid's advantage is ratings volume (227 vs 26) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CrewBid sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and QuickBid sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
