Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quick Journal at none against Nuke's 4. Quick Journal also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and device support (3 vs 1). Nuke's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
