# Yarda vs Lumisketch

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lumisketch at 100% against Yarda's 47%. Lumisketch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Yarda's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yarda sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Lumisketch sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $139.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lumisketch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yarda has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of Yarda's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lumisketch's.

Yarda ships an update fortnightly, Lumisketch every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
