# RepTool vs LizardBox

The clearest difference is rating: RepTool at 5.0 against LizardBox's 4.3. RepTool also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8). LizardBox's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and review sentiment (52% vs 33%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LizardBox sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. RepTool asks for nothing beyond the download.

RepTool holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LizardBox has 70 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of RepTool's written reviews are positive against 52% of LizardBox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RepTool ships an update monthly, LizardBox weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
