Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MinuteKnights at Free against PaceQuest's $0.99. MinuteKnights also leads on ratings volume (180 vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). PaceQuest's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

MinuteKnights is free to download; PaceQuest costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PaceQuest holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MinuteKnights has 180 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of MinuteKnights's written reviews are positive against 67% of PaceQuest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MinuteKnights ships an update every 3 weeks, PaceQuest every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
