Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Time Crimes at 71% against Crime Case's 0%. Time Crimes also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (436 vs 80). Crime Case's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Crimes sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Crime Case sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crime Case holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Crimes has 436 ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Time Crimes's written reviews are positive against 0% of Crime Case's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Time Crimes ships an update every 3 weeks, Crime Case every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
