Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shopping Quest at 4.7 against Retail Store Simulator's 4.3. Shopping Quest also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 552). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Shopping Quest sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Retail Store Simulator sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Shopping Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shopping Quest has 4.5K ratings behind it against 552, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Shopping Quest's written reviews are positive against 37% of Retail Store Simulator's.
Shopping Quest ships an update every 5 days, Retail Store Simulator fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
