# GoshuinGo vs Stamp Quest

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stamp Quest at 45% against GoshuinGo's 0%. Stamp Quest also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). GoshuinGo's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GoshuinGo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Stamp Quest sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GoshuinGo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of GoshuinGo's written reviews are positive against 45% of Stamp Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GoshuinGo ships an update every 2 months, Stamp Quest fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
