# Miyu vs Lilo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Miyu at 100% against Lilo's 66%. Miyu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Lilo's advantage is ratings volume (4.5K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Miyu sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Lilo sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Miyu holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lilo has 4.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Miyu's written reviews are positive against 66% of Lilo's.

Miyu ships an update weekly, Lilo every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
