# Hoplite vs Questland

The clearest difference is price: Questland at Free against Hoplite's $3.99. Questland also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (28K vs 790). Hoplite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Questland is free to download; Hoplite costs $3.99 up front. Questland sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Hoplite asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Hoplite against 4.8 for Questland. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Questland has 28K ratings behind it against 790, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Hoplite's written reviews are positive against 89% of Questland's.

Hoplite ships an update every 3 months, Questland fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
