# YouCan vs Lyfta

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lyfta at 85% against YouCan's 23%. Lyfta also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 29). YouCan's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. YouCan sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Lyfta sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lyfta holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lyfta has 7.1K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 23% of YouCan's written reviews are positive against 85% of Lyfta's.

YouCan ships an update monthly, Lyfta weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
