# Lost Frontier vs Ozymandias

The clearest difference is rating: Ozymandias at 4.5 against Lost Frontier's 4.2. Ozymandias also leads on chart position (#92 vs unranked). Lost Frontier's advantage is ratings volume (200 vs 22) and review sentiment (72% vs 62%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Lost Frontier costs $2.99 and Ozymandias $3.99 up front. Lost Frontier sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Ozymandias sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ozymandias holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lost Frontier has 200 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Lost Frontier's written reviews are positive against 62% of Ozymandias's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lost Frontier ships an update monthly, Ozymandias every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
