Verdict
Boostcamp and Lifts both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Lifts's written reviews are positive against 60% of Boostcamp's. Lifts also leads on ads (none vs shown). Boostcamp's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 3) and chart position (#164 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Boostcamp sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Lifts sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Boostcamp holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boostcamp has 11K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Boostcamp's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lifts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Boostcamp ships an update fortnightly, Lifts every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
