# 新浪围棋 vs GoQuest

The clearest difference is ads: 新浪围棋 at none against GoQuest's shown. 新浪围棋 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). GoQuest's advantage is ratings volume (573 vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 新浪围棋 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GoQuest sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

新浪围棋 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoQuest has 573 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

新浪围棋 ships an update every 3 months, GoQuest every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
