Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Skip at none against Quick Order's 6. Skip also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Quick Order's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
