I have both Tidal and Qobuz at the moment.
Comparing 24/96 Qobuz and Tidal MQA unfolded to 24/96, both sound good but different. For certain tracks, vocals seem to have more body and are more present on Tidal than Qobuz. For certain tracks, Qobuz seems to have a wider soundstage and better at micro details. On balance, I slightly prefer the sound quality of Tidal.
At this point, I might stick with Tidal since I find the interface more intuitive (probably since I've been using it longer and prefer the black background) and music selection better aligns with mine. It's not a strong preference and I could be convinced either way. I do find the option of not having to get an MQA DAC a very big plus for Qobuz.
