Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lost Potato at none against Alexus 2040's shown. Lost Potato also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Alexus 2040's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 56%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alexus 2040 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Lost Potato sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lost Potato holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lost Potato has 110 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Alexus 2040's written reviews are positive against 56% of Lost Potato's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Alexus 2040 ships an update every 3 months, Lost Potato every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
