Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Knitting Assistant at 5.0 against Knit's 3.1. Knitting Assistant also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months). Knit's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
