Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GoQuest at Free against Go's $1.99. GoQuest also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 45 months) and ratings volume (571 vs 1). Go's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and device support 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
GoQuest is free to download; Go costs $1.99 up front. GoQuest sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Go asks for nothing beyond the download.
Go holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoQuest has 571 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of GoQuest's written reviews are positive against 63% of Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GoQuest ships an update every 2 months, Go every 45 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
