# Sitch vs SideQuest

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SideQuest at 100% against Sitch's 21%. SideQuest also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Sitch's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sitch sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and SideQuest sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SideQuest holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sitch has 2.6K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of Sitch's written reviews are positive against 100% of SideQuest's.

Sitch ships an update fortnightly, SideQuest every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
