# Boostcamp vs Liftosaur

The clearest difference is ads: Liftosaur at none against Boostcamp's shown. Liftosaur also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 60%) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Boostcamp's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 417) and chart position (#142 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boostcamp sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Liftosaur sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Boostcamp against 4.9 for Liftosaur. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boostcamp has 10K ratings behind it against 417, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Boostcamp's written reviews are positive against 90% of Liftosaur's.

Boostcamp ships an update fortnightly, Liftosaur weekly. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
