Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: KifuBox at none against GoQuest's shown. KifuBox also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). GoQuest's advantage is ratings volume (574 vs 7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. GoQuest sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and KifuBox sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
KifuBox holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoQuest has 574 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of GoQuest's written reviews are positive against 100% of KifuBox's.
GoQuest ships an update every 6 weeks, KifuBox every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
