# l vs FilmCrawler

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FilmCrawler at none against l's 5. FilmCrawler also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). l's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 2) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. l sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. FilmCrawler asks for nothing beyond the download.

FilmCrawler holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: l has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

l ships an update every 3 weeks, FilmCrawler every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
