Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: NextQuest at none against GameDropRadar's shown. NextQuest also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for NextQuest against 5.0 for GameDropRadar. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NextQuest has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
