# Combo Quest vs Guidus

The clearest difference is ads: Combo Quest at none against Guidus's shown. Combo Quest also leads on iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). Guidus's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Combo Quest sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Guidus sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Guidus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guidus has 3K ratings behind it against 468, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Combo Quest's written reviews are positive against 73% of Guidus's.

Combo Quest ships an update every 2 months, Guidus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
