# The Quest Classic vs Duskfall

The clearest difference is price: Duskfall at Free against The Quest Classic's $2.99. Duskfall also leads on ratings volume (3.6K vs 3). The Quest Classic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Duskfall is free to download; The Quest Classic costs $2.99 up front. Duskfall sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. The Quest Classic asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Quest Classic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Duskfall has 3.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of The Quest Classic's written reviews are positive against 86% of Duskfall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Quest Classic ships an update monthly, Duskfall every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
