# Tiny Quest vs Pixel Heroes Idle

The clearest difference is rating: Pixel Heroes Idle at 4.7 against Tiny Quest's 4.3. Pixel Heroes Idle also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Tiny Quest's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 44%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Quest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pixel Heroes Idle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pixel Heroes Idle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 86 and 231 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Tiny Quest's written reviews are positive against 44% of Pixel Heroes Idle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tiny Quest ships an update every 2 weeks, Pixel Heroes Idle every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
