# Boostcamp vs SelfQuest

The clearest difference is rating: Boostcamp at 4.8 against SelfQuest's 4.1. Boostcamp also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 488) and chart position (#154 vs unranked). SelfQuest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boostcamp sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and SelfQuest sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Boostcamp holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boostcamp has 10K ratings behind it against 488, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Boostcamp's written reviews are positive against 70% of SelfQuest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Boostcamp ships an update fortnightly, SelfQuest every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
