Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rover Quest at 100% against ReLOST's 50%. ReLOST's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. ReLOST sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Rover Quest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ReLOST holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReLOST has 42 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ReLOST's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rover Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ReLOST ships an update every 2 days, Rover Quest every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 6, 2026 respectively.
