# Insect Quest vs Micro RPG

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Insect Quest at 100% against Micro RPG's 67%. Insect Quest also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Micro RPG's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (7.7K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Insect Quest sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Micro RPG sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Insect Quest holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Micro RPG has 7.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Insect Quest's written reviews are positive against 67% of Micro RPG's.

Insect Quest ships an update every 3 months, Micro RPG weekly. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
