# Aquaria vs Lost Yeti

The clearest difference is update cadence: Aquaria at fortnightly against Lost Yeti's every 12 months. Aquaria also leads on ratings volume (231 vs 41) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 12.0). Lost Yeti's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 69%) and price ($2.99 vs $4.99). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Aquaria costs $4.99 and Lost Yeti $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Aquaria holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aquaria has 231 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Aquaria's written reviews are positive against 87% of Lost Yeti's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Aquaria ships an update fortnightly, Lost Yeti every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
