# Cashews vs ClamQuest

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ClamQuest at 100% against Cashews's 50%. ClamQuest also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Cashews's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (70 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cashews sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and ClamQuest sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ClamQuest holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cashews has 70 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Cashews's written reviews are positive against 100% of ClamQuest's.

Cashews ships an update every 3 days, ClamQuest monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
