# Lustra vs PaperWall

The clearest difference is rating: Lustra at 4.6 against PaperWall's 4.0. Lustra also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PaperWall's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lustra sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and PaperWall sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lustra holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lustra has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Lustra ships an update fortnightly, PaperWall every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
