Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Quest Classic ships an update every 2 months, ATOM RPG every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
