# Evolve vs Lost Time

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lost Time at 100% against Evolve's 0%. Lost Time also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Evolve's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evolve sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Lost Time sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lost Time holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lost Time has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Evolve's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lost Time's.

Evolve ships an update every 2 days, Lost Time every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
