Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: DhiQuran at free against Oala's subscription. DhiQuran also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.1). Oala's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (31 vs 9). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
