Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Image Tracing at Free against Quick Draw's $0.99. Image Tracing also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Quick Draw's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#65 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
