# Pineapple Pen vs Knife Master Hit

The clearest difference is ads: Knife Master Hit at none against Pineapple Pen's shown. Knife Master Hit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Pineapple Pen's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pineapple Pen sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Knife Master Hit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Knife Master Hit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pineapple Pen has 6K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Pineapple Pen's written reviews are positive against 100% of Knife Master Hit's.

Pineapple Pen ships an update fortnightly, Knife Master Hit every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
