# BoomCraft vs Livetopia

The clearest difference is rating: Livetopia at 4.7 against BoomCraft's 3.8. Livetopia also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 13 months) and review sentiment (73% vs 56%). BoomCraft's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BoomCraft sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Livetopia sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Livetopia holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Livetopia has 12K ratings behind it against 704, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of BoomCraft's written reviews are positive against 73% of Livetopia's.

BoomCraft ships an update every 13 months, Livetopia monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
