Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lost Sword at 4.7 against Summoners War's 4.2. Lost Sword also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (76% vs 41%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Summoners War sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Lost Sword sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lost Sword holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lost Sword has 2K ratings behind it against 235, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of Summoners War's written reviews are positive against 76% of Lost Sword's.
Summoners War ships an update monthly, Lost Sword fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
