Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Quartermaster at 5.0 against OLED Control's 4.3. Quartermaster also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 75%) and ratings volume (42 vs 6). OLED Control's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
