# Questland vs Abalon

The clearest difference is ads: Abalon at none against Questland's shown. Abalon also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Questland's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 1K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Questland sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Abalon sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Questland against 4.8 for Abalon. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Questland has 28K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Questland's written reviews are positive against 84% of Abalon's.

Questland ships an update fortnightly, Abalon every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
