# Light a Way vs Progress Knight

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Light a Way at 2K against Progress Knight's 257. Light a Way also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Light a Way sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Progress Knight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Light a Way holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Light a Way has 2K ratings behind it against 257, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Light a Way's written reviews are positive against 73% of Progress Knight's.

Light a Way ships an update monthly, Progress Knight every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and August 24, 2026 respectively.
