# Liftosaur vs Same

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Liftosaur at 417 against Same's 6. Same's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Liftosaur sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Same sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Liftosaur against 5.0 for Same. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Liftosaur has 417 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Liftosaur's written reviews are positive against 100% of Same's.

Liftosaur ships an update weekly, Same every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
