# Lamar vs Prison Break

The clearest difference is ads: Prison Break at none against Lamar's shown. Prison Break also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Lamar's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 17%) and ratings volume (184K vs 8.1K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lamar sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Prison Break sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Lamar against 4.6 for Prison Break. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lamar has 184K ratings behind it against 8.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of Lamar's written reviews are positive against 17% of Prison Break's.

Lamar ships an update monthly, Prison Break weekly. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
