# Progress Knight vs Pause Game

The clearest difference is rating: Progress Knight at 4.7 against Pause Game's 4.3. Progress Knight also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and ratings volume (313 vs 41). Pause Game's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
