Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ArticleQ at Free against Today's $0.99. ArticleQ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). Today's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
