# Laser Quest! vs Odd Machines

The clearest difference is ads: Odd Machines at none against Laser Quest!'s shown. Odd Machines also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 45%). Laser Quest!'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Laser Quest! sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Odd Machines sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Laser Quest! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 363 and 89 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Laser Quest!'s written reviews are positive against 61% of Odd Machines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Laser Quest! ships an update every 2 weeks, Odd Machines every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
