# King Smith vs Soul Quest

The clearest difference is review sentiment: King Smith at 79% against Soul Quest's 6%. King Smith also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Soul Quest's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 255). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. King Smith sells 26 one-off in-app purchases and Soul Quest sells 22 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

King Smith holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soul Quest has 1.4K ratings behind it against 255, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of King Smith's written reviews are positive against 6% of Soul Quest's.

King Smith ships an update fortnightly, Soul Quest weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
