# Lost Realm vs Avalar

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Avalar at 66% against Lost Realm's 50%. Avalar also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Lost Realm's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lost Realm sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Avalar sells 30 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lost Realm holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 115 and 150 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Lost Realm's written reviews are positive against 66% of Avalar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lost Realm ships an update every 6 weeks, Avalar every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
