Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: lo at none against Agar.io's shown. lo also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Agar.io's advantage is ratings volume (221K vs 20) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. lo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Agar.io sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Agar.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Agar.io has 221K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of lo's written reviews are positive against 28% of Agar.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

lo ships an update every 4 months, Agar.io every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
