# Stop vs WordQuest

The clearest difference is rating: Stop at 4.6 against WordQuest's 4.0. Stop also leads on ratings volume (106K vs 1) and chart position (#92 vs unranked). WordQuest's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 44%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stop sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and WordQuest sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stop holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stop has 106K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Stop's written reviews are positive against 80% of WordQuest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Stop ships an update every 3 months, WordQuest every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
