Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lift at none against BADCO Crew's 3. Lift also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). BADCO Crew's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (40 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BADCO Crew sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Lift asks for nothing beyond the download.
Lift holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BADCO Crew has 40 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Lift ships an update every 2 months, BADCO Crew every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
