Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Maze Mice at 4.5 against Stair Quest's 4.2. Maze Mice also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Stair Quest's advantage is ratings volume (101 vs 11) and price ($2.99 vs $4.99). On update cadence, 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
Stair Quest costs $2.99 and Maze Mice $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Maze Mice holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stair Quest has 101 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Stair Quest's written reviews are positive against 40% of Maze Mice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stair Quest ships an update every 5 days, Maze Mice daily. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
