The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tessel Run at none against Quarc's 1. Tessel Run also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Quarc's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 3). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quarc sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Tessel Run asks for nothing beyond the download.
