# AB Quantum vs ZEISS Hunting

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ZEISS Hunting at none against AB Quantum's 4. ZEISS Hunting also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 45%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). AB Quantum's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AB Quantum sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. ZEISS Hunting asks for nothing beyond the download.

AB Quantum holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AB Quantum has 3K ratings behind it against 408, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of AB Quantum's written reviews are positive against 66% of ZEISS Hunting's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AB Quantum ships an update fortnightly, ZEISS Hunting every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
