# My Lisp vs Solar2D Studio

The clearest difference is rating: Solar2D Studio at 5.0 against My Lisp's 4.1. Solar2D Studio also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). My Lisp's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and price ($3.99 vs $9.99). On update cadence, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

My Lisp costs $3.99 and Solar2D Studio $9.99 up front. Solar2D Studio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. My Lisp asks for nothing beyond the download.

Solar2D Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Lisp has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of My Lisp's written reviews are positive against 50% of Solar2D Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Lisp ships an update every 6 weeks, Solar2D Studio every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
