Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Quads at every 9 days against So Tricky's every 6 months. Quads also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 11.0). So Tricky's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
