Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Combo Quest at none against Guidus's shown. Combo Quest also leads on iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). Guidus's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
