# Dragon Mania Legends vs Dash Quest 2

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dragon Mania Legends at 173K against Dash Quest 2's 906. Dragon Mania Legends also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 51%) and chart position (#103 vs unranked). Dash Quest 2's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dragon Mania Legends sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Dash Quest 2 sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Dragon Mania Legends against 4.7 for Dash Quest 2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dragon Mania Legends has 173K ratings behind it against 906, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Dragon Mania Legends's written reviews are positive against 51% of Dash Quest 2's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
