# Lightseekers vs Mythrel

The clearest difference is ads: Lightseekers at none against Mythrel's shown. Lightseekers also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (284 vs 25). Mythrel's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 68%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lightseekers sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Mythrel sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lightseekers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lightseekers has 284 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Lightseekers's written reviews are positive against 82% of Mythrel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lightseekers ships an update every 3 weeks, Mythrel every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
