# Quest vs Mella

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mella at 43% against Quest's 0%. Mella also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 6). Quest's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and rating (4.0 vs 3.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quest sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Mella sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Quest's written reviews are positive against 43% of Mella's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Quest ships an update every 2 days, Mella weekly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
