# Stronger vs SelfQuest

The clearest difference is rating: Stronger at 4.8 against SelfQuest's 4.1. Stronger also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 490). SelfQuest's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 49%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stronger sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and SelfQuest sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stronger holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stronger has 18K ratings behind it against 490, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Stronger's written reviews are positive against 70% of SelfQuest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Stronger ships an update every 3 days, SelfQuest every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
