# Foundation vs Last Asylum

Foundation and Last Asylum both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 62% of Foundation's written reviews are positive against 37% of Last Asylum's. Foundation also leads on chart position (#1 vs #4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Last Asylum's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (43K vs 9.4K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Foundation sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Last Asylum sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Last Asylum holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9.4K and 43K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Foundation's written reviews are positive against 37% of Last Asylum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Foundation ships an update fortnightly, Last Asylum weekly. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
