# Knightly vs MathSweeper

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MathSweeper at none against Knightly's 1. MathSweeper also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). Knightly's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Knightly sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MathSweeper asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Knightly against 5.0 for MathSweeper.
