# LiftLab vs Boldr

The clearest difference is monetization model: Boldr at free with in-app purchases against LiftLab's subscription. LiftLab's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (18 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiftLab sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and Boldr sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for LiftLab against 5.0 for Boldr. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiftLab has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

LiftLab ships an update weekly, Boldr every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
