# Quest Hunter vs Dark Raider

The clearest difference is rating: Quest Hunter at 4.3 against Dark Raider's 3.4. Quest Hunter also leads on ratings volume (372 vs 47). Dark Raider's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quest Hunter sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Dark Raider sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quest Hunter holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quest Hunter has 372 ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Quest Hunter's written reviews are positive against 67% of Dark Raider's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Quest Hunter ships an update every 6 weeks, Dark Raider every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
