# Sonny vs Gordian Quest

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sonny at none against Gordian Quest's 2. Sonny also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 52%) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 153). Gordian Quest's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gordian Quest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Sonny asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Sonny against 4.7 for Gordian Quest. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonny has 2.3K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Sonny's written reviews are positive against 52% of Gordian Quest's.

Sonny ships an update every 5 months, Gordian Quest weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
