Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quick Notes at none against JLPT Test's 1. Quick Notes also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). JLPT Test's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
