Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SOL.EXE at none against ProgressBar95's 10. SOL.EXE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). ProgressBar95's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 16). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
