# Clue vs Lummiku

The clearest difference is price: Lummiku at Free against Clue's $4.99. Lummiku also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Clue's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Lummiku is free to download; Clue costs $4.99 up front. Clue sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Lummiku sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clue ships an update every 2 months, Lummiku every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
