# Protos vs PrayGate

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Protos at 117 against PrayGate's 1. PrayGate's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Protos sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and PrayGate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PrayGate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Protos has 117 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Protos ships an update every 3 weeks, PrayGate every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
