Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Moonlight Quest at 4.5 against Ashes's 3.8. Moonlight Quest also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (95 vs 14). Ashes's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moonlight Quest sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Ashes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Moonlight Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moonlight Quest has 95 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Moonlight Quest's written reviews are positive against 67% of Ashes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Moonlight Quest ships an update every 2 days, Ashes every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
