Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Quick Journal at every 9 days against SkyJournal's every 2 months. Quick Journal also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 67%). SkyJournal's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 17.4). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
