# Knitting Genius vs Knit Pro

The clearest difference is ads: Knit Pro at none against Knitting Genius's shown. Knit Pro also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Knitting Genius's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 65%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Knitting Genius sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Knit Pro sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $11.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Knit Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 52 and 149 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Knitting Genius's written reviews are positive against 65% of Knit Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Knitting Genius ships an update every 6 weeks, Knit Pro every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
