Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SQL Practice at 4.7 against Xcasca's 1.9. SQL Practice also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 47%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Xcasca's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
