Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Picture Hunt at Free against Lost Artifacts 1's $10.99. Picture Hunt also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months). Lost Artifacts 1's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Picture Hunt is free to download; Lost Artifacts 1 costs $10.99 up front. Picture Hunt sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Lost Artifacts 1 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Picture Hunt holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Picture Hunt has 6K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Lost Artifacts 1's written reviews are positive against 44% of Picture Hunt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lost Artifacts 1 ships an update every 8 months, Picture Hunt every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
