# StarQuest vs Last Extract

StarQuest and Last Extract both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of StarQuest's written reviews are positive against 24% of Last Extract's. StarQuest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Last Extract's advantage is ratings volume (9.2K vs 168) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StarQuest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Last Extract sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Last Extract holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Last Extract has 9.2K ratings behind it against 168, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of StarQuest's written reviews are positive against 24% of Last Extract's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

StarQuest ships an update weekly, Last Extract every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
