Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iStructly at none against QuickTerminal's 2. iStructly also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks). QuickTerminal's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
