# Knit Pro vs Stitch & Row

The clearest difference is rating: Stitch & Row at 5.0 against Knit Pro's 4.5. Knit Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (149 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Knit Pro sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $11.49 per month and Stitch & Row sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stitch & Row holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Knit Pro has 149 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Knit Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, Stitch & Row fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
