# Crusaders Quest vs Dragon Survival

Crusaders Quest and Dragon Survival both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of Crusaders Quest's written reviews are positive against 62% of Dragon Survival's. Crusaders Quest also leads on ratings volume (5K vs 358). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crusaders Quest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dragon Survival sells 37 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Crusaders Quest against 4.7 for Dragon Survival. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crusaders Quest has 5K ratings behind it against 358, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of Crusaders Quest's written reviews are positive against 62% of Dragon Survival's.

Crusaders Quest ships an update every 3 weeks, Dragon Survival every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
