Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ER Companion at Free against Game Progress's $0.99. ER Companion also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). Game Progress's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 72%). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

ER Companion is free to download; Game Progress costs $0.99 up front. ER Companion sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Game Progress sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ER Companion holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ER Companion has 2.9K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of ER Companion's written reviews are positive against 100% of Game Progress's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ER Companion ships an update fortnightly, Game Progress every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
