# Lost Pages vs Urban Cards

The clearest difference is rating: Lost Pages at 4.7 against Urban Cards's 3.9. Lost Pages also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (173 vs 45). Urban Cards's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (65% vs 51%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lost Pages sells 53 one-off in-app purchases and Urban Cards sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lost Pages holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 173 and 45 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Lost Pages's written reviews are positive against 65% of Urban Cards's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lost Pages ships an update every 2 days, Urban Cards weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
