# LizardBox vs BoxPath

The clearest difference is rating: BoxPath at 5.0 against LizardBox's 4.3. LizardBox's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (70 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LizardBox sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and BoxPath sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BoxPath holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LizardBox has 70 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

LizardBox ships an update weekly, BoxPath every 21 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
