# Demon Quest vs The Demonized

The clearest difference is rating: The Demonized at 4.8 against Demon Quest's 4.2. The Demonized also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 13). Demon Quest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (76% vs 48%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Demon Quest sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and The Demonized sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Demonized holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Demonized has 3.7K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Demon Quest's written reviews are positive against 48% of The Demonized's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Demon Quest ships an update every 2 weeks, The Demonized weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
