# Halo vs Progress

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Progress at 100% against Halo's 58%. Progress also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Halo's advantage is ratings volume (112 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Halo sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Progress sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Progress holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Halo has 112 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Halo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Progress's.

Halo ships an update weekly, Progress every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
