Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Insect Quest at Free against DungeonSquad's $1.99. Insect Quest also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). DungeonSquad's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
