# Quest Hunter vs Brave Squad

The clearest difference is rating: Brave Squad at 5.0 against Quest Hunter's 4.3. Quest Hunter's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (58% vs 33%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quest Hunter sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Brave Squad sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brave Squad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quest Hunter has 372 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Quest Hunter's written reviews are positive against 33% of Brave Squad'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, Brave Squad every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
