Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Q8Brod at none against GlobalCast's 1. Q8Brod also leads on ads (none vs shown). GlobalCast's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 38 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
