# Insect Quest vs DungeonSquad

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.

Insect Quest is free to download; DungeonSquad costs $1.99 up front. Insect Quest sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and DungeonSquad 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 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DungeonSquad has 610 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 71% of DungeonSquad's.

Insect Quest ships an update every 3 months, DungeonSquad every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
