# Lost World vs Creative Box

The clearest difference is rating: Creative Box at 4.5 against Lost World's 3.5. Creative Box also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 36 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 90). Lost World's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 64%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Creative Box holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Creative Box has 3.9K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Lost World's written reviews are positive against 64% of Creative Box's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lost World ships an update every 36 months, Creative Box every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
