Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Raider at none against Rover Quest's 1. Raider also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). Rover Quest's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rover Quest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Raider asks for nothing beyond the download.
Raider holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raider has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Raider's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rover Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Raider ships an update every 9 days, Rover Quest every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
