# The Quest vs ATOM RPG

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Quest at none against ATOM RPG's 1. The Quest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). ATOM RPG's advantage is ratings volume (223 vs 11) and chart position (#164 vs unranked). On review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

The Quest costs $2.99 and ATOM RPG $9.99 up front. ATOM RPG sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. The Quest asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ATOM RPG has 223 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of The Quest's written reviews are positive against 69% of ATOM RPG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
