# GOL vs Apple Knight

The clearest difference is ads: GOL at none against Apple Knight's shown. Apple Knight's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 66) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GOL sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Apple Knight sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Apple Knight holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Apple Knight has 23K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 86% and 86% positive.

GOL ships an update every 3 weeks, Apple Knight monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
