Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Primitives at none against Knossos Audio Guide's 4. Primitives also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). Knossos Audio Guide's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
