Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Quext Resident holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quext Resident has 35 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Lubn's written reviews are positive against 27% of Quext Resident's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lubn ships an update every 3 months, Quext Resident fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
