Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hydra at none against Quivr's shown. Hydra also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Quivr's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
