Verdict
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.
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. 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.
QuickBid holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CrewBid has 227 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two.
CrewBid ships an update fortnightly, QuickBid monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
