# PocketCrawler vs Tiny Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Quest at 4.3 against PocketCrawler's 3.6. Tiny Quest also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (86 vs 12). PocketCrawler's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PocketCrawler sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Quest sells 27 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Quest has 86 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 57% and 57% positive.

PocketCrawler ships an update every 24 months, Tiny Quest every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
