# Backpacker™ vs Trivia Quiz

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Backpacker™ at 5.4K against Trivia Quiz's 73. Backpacker™ also leads on chart position (#130 vs unranked). Trivia Quiz's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backpacker™ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days and Trivia Quiz sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Backpacker™ against 4.5 for Trivia Quiz. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backpacker™ has 5.4K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 70% and 70% positive.

Backpacker™ ships an update every 6 weeks, Trivia Quiz every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
