Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Lucky at every 2 weeks against ScummVM's every 4 months. Lucky also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). ScummVM's advantage is ratings volume (109 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 27.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Lucky holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScummVM has 109 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of ScummVM's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lucky's.
ScummVM ships an update every 4 months, Lucky every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
