Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LEGO® Boost at 4.6 against MiPosaur's 4.4. LEGO® Boost also leads on ratings volume (4.3K vs 400). MiPosaur's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 66%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
LEGO® Boost holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LEGO® Boost has 4.3K ratings behind it against 400, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of MiPosaur's written reviews are positive against 66% of LEGO® Boost's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MiPosaur ships an update every 6 weeks, LEGO® Boost every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
