# The Quest vs ATOM RPG

The clearest difference is rating: The Quest at 5.0 against ATOM RPG's 4.3. The Quest also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). ATOM RPG's advantage is ratings volume (223 vs 4) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On device support and iOS requirement 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, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ATOM RPG has 223 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

The Quest ships an update every 3 months, ATOM RPG every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
