Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DREDGE at none against Knight Lancer's shown. DREDGE also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Knight Lancer's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 60%) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Knight Lancer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DREDGE sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Knight Lancer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Knight Lancer has 11K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
