Verdict
Lights Out and BoxBoxd both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of BoxBoxd's written reviews are positive against 23% of Lights Out's. BoxBoxd also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (11 vs 2). Lights Out's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
BoxBoxd is free to download; Lights Out costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Lights Out holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BoxBoxd has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Lights Out's written reviews are positive against 88% of BoxBoxd's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lights Out ships an update every 3 days, BoxBoxd every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
