Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SSQRD at Free against Buycott's $1.99. SSQRD also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Buycott's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 16). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
