Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Grumpy Goats at 5.0 against Costume Quest's 4.0. Costume Quest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (449 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Costume Quest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Grumpy Goats sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Grumpy Goats holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Costume Quest has 449 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Costume Quest ships an update every 6 days, Grumpy Goats every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
