Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quip at none against PinRally's 3. Quip also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 2). PinRally's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
