Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QuickPad at none against ReeMate's 1. QuickPad also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). ReeMate's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
