# ProgressBar95 vs SteerEST

The clearest difference is rating: ProgressBar95 at 4.8 against SteerEST's 2.7. ProgressBar95 also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 3). SteerEST's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProgressBar95 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and SteerEST sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProgressBar95 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProgressBar95 has 3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ProgressBar95 ships an update every 2 months, SteerEST every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
