# Progress 2.0 vs NowLoading

The clearest difference is ads: Progress 2.0 at none against NowLoading's shown. Progress 2.0 also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). NowLoading's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Progress 2.0 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and NowLoading sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Progress 2.0 against 5.0 for NowLoading. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Progress 2.0 has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Progress 2.0's written reviews are positive against 100% of NowLoading's.

Progress 2.0 ships an update every 6 weeks, NowLoading every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
