Verdict
StarQuest and Chornobyl Quest both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of StarQuest's written reviews are positive against 16% of Chornobyl Quest's. StarQuest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Chornobyl Quest's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 167). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. StarQuest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Chornobyl Quest sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Chornobyl Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chornobyl Quest has 2.7K ratings behind it against 167, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of StarQuest's written reviews are positive against 16% of Chornobyl Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
StarQuest ships an update weekly, Chornobyl Quest every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
