Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Quicknotes at every 8 days against Funnel's every 6 weeks. Quicknotes also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Funnel's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
