# Lost Pages vs Jack & Detectives

The clearest difference is rating: Lost Pages at 4.7 against Jack & Detectives's 4.5. Lost Pages also leads on ratings volume (173 vs 29). Jack & Detectives's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lost Pages sells 50 one-off in-app purchases and Jack & Detectives sells 6 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 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lost Pages has 173 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Lost Pages's written reviews are positive against 53% of Jack & Detectives's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
