Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Quest Classic at none against ATOM RPG's 1. The Quest Classic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and price ($4.99 vs $9.99). ATOM RPG's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (221 vs 18). On update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
The Quest Classic costs $4.99 and ATOM RPG $9.99 up front. ATOM RPG sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. The Quest Classic asks for nothing beyond the download.
ATOM RPG holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ATOM RPG has 221 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of The Quest Classic's written reviews are positive against 69% of ATOM RPG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Quest Classic ships an update every 2 months, ATOM RPG every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
