Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brigada at none against Inquirer Plus's 4. Brigada also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Inquirer Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
