Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Dungeons & Such at Free against PaceQuest's $0.99. Dungeons & Such also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 4). PaceQuest's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PaceQuest holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dungeons & Such has 1.4K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Dungeons & Such'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dungeons & Such ships an update every 3 days, PaceQuest every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
