Both are free to download. Vertigus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and KnuckDeWay sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

KnuckDeWay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vertigus ships an update every 2 months, KnuckDeWay every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
