# Summoners War vs Crusaders Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Crusaders Quest at 4.7 against Summoners War's 4.2. Crusaders Quest also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 56%). Summoners War's advantage is chart position (#30 vs unranked) and ratings volume (43K vs 5K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summoners War sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Crusaders Quest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Crusaders Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Summoners War has 43K ratings behind it against 5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Summoners War's written reviews are positive against 77% of Crusaders Quest's.

Summoners War ships an update fortnightly, Crusaders Quest every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
