# Ex Astris vs METRO QUESTER

The clearest difference is rating: Ex Astris at 4.4 against METRO QUESTER's 3.7. Ex Astris also leads on ratings volume (267 vs 3) and price ($9.99 vs $14.99). METRO QUESTER's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 66%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Ex Astris costs $9.99 and METRO QUESTER $14.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Ex Astris holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ex Astris has 267 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Ex Astris's written reviews are positive against 100% of METRO QUESTER's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ex Astris ships an update every 3 weeks, METRO QUESTER daily. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
