# ER Companion vs Game Progress

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.

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.

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.

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.
