# Lifetime vs Left

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Left at 73% against Lifetime's 25%. Left also leads on ratings volume (429 vs 5). Lifetime's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lifetime sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Left sells 28 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lifetime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Left has 429 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Lifetime's written reviews are positive against 73% of Left's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lifetime ships an update every 5 days, Left every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
