# AstroN vs Rover Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Rover Quest at 4.0 against AstroN's 2.1. Rover Quest also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%). AstroN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AstroN sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Rover Quest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rover Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AstroN has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of AstroN's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rover Quest's.

AstroN ships an update weekly, Rover Quest every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
