Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Quadoku at 100% against Picture Cross's 45%. Quadoku also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). Picture Cross's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and ratings volume (75K vs 20). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
