Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PaceQuest at none against Dungeons & Such's 5. PaceQuest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Dungeons & Such's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
