These two are broker exchanges based in Nigeria and both support only NGN as the only fiat currency.
However, Truexgold has some unique advantages over Roqqu.
Asides from being older, Truexgold users can buy digital currencies such as Perfect Money, Neteller, etc from the platform. It also provides more payment options.
However, unlike Roqqu, Truexgold does not provide services for online bill payment.
