# FCYP vs Lively

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FCYP at none against Lively's 10. FCYP also leads on iOS requirement (9.0.0 vs 15.0). Lively's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (56K vs 3). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lively sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. FCYP asks for nothing beyond the download.

FCYP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lively has 56K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FCYP ships an update every 8 months, Lively every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
