# LostFound vs MySequence

The clearest difference is price: MySequence at Free against LostFound's $0.99. MySequence also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (107 vs 13). LostFound's advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 9%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

MySequence is free to download; LostFound costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

MySequence holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MySequence has 107 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of LostFound's written reviews are positive against 9% of MySequence'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, MySequence every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
