Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IfFound at 4.0 against LostFound's 3.3. IfFound also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.2). LostFound's advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 38%) and chart position (#194 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

LostFound costs $0.99 and IfFound $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
IfFound holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 29 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of LostFound's written reviews are positive against 38% of IfFound's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LostFound ships an update every 12 months, IfFound every 8 months. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
