# Trivia vs PinQuest

The clearest difference is rating: Trivia at 4.7 against PinQuest's 3.7. Trivia also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 33%) and ratings volume (9.9K vs 3). PinQuest's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trivia sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. PinQuest asks for nothing beyond the download.

Trivia holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trivia has 9.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Trivia's written reviews are positive against 33% of PinQuest's.

Trivia ships an update every 7 months, PinQuest every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
