# Sonolus vs Swipe Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Swipe Quest at 4.8 against Sonolus's 3.9. Swipe Quest also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Sonolus's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 8) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sonolus sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Swipe Quest asks for nothing beyond the download.

Swipe Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonolus has 1.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sonolus ships an update every 2 months, Swipe Quest daily. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
