# Big Hunter vs Soul Knight

The clearest difference is update cadence: Soul Knight at every 4 weeks against Big Hunter's every 3 months. Soul Knight also leads on ratings volume (127K vs 5.6K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Big Hunter sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Soul Knight sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Soul Knight holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soul Knight has 127K ratings behind it against 5.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Big Hunter's written reviews are positive against 72% of Soul Knight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Big Hunter ships an update every 3 months, Soul Knight every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
