# Daybound vs Quest

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quest at none against Daybound's 2. Quest also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Daybound's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daybound sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Quest asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Daybound against 5.0 for Quest. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daybound has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Daybound ships an update every 4 weeks, Quest every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on July 18, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
