Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Blockglow at 100% against Q...'s 51%. Blockglow also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Q...'s advantage is ratings volume (81 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
