# Suzerain vs Progress Knight

The clearest difference is rating: Suzerain at 4.6 against Progress Knight's 3.8. Suzerain also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 182). Progress Knight's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Suzerain sells 22 one-off in-app purchases and Progress Knight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Suzerain holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Suzerain has 1.4K ratings behind it against 182, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Suzerain's written reviews are positive against 63% of Progress Knight's.

Suzerain ships an update every 2 weeks, Progress Knight every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
