# RAID vs Knighthood

RAID and Knighthood both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of Knighthood's written reviews are positive against 44% of RAID's. RAID's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (528K vs 38K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RAID sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Knighthood sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for RAID against 4.8 for Knighthood. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RAID has 528K ratings behind it against 38K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of RAID's written reviews are positive against 64% of Knighthood's.

RAID ships an update fortnightly, Knighthood every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
