# Blade Idle vs Tiny Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Blade Idle at 4.7 against Tiny Quest's 4.3. Blade Idle also leads on ratings volume (5.8K vs 86). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blade Idle sells 113 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Quest sells 27 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blade Idle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blade Idle has 5.8K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two.
