Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ice Ray at none against GoQuest's 1. Ice Ray also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). GoQuest's advantage is ratings volume (575 vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
