# VALKYRIE CONNECT vs Grimlight

The clearest difference is rating: VALKYRIE CONNECT at 4.6 against Grimlight's 4.1. VALKYRIE CONNECT also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 61%) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 369). Grimlight's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VALKYRIE CONNECT sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Grimlight sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VALKYRIE CONNECT holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VALKYRIE CONNECT has 5.1K ratings behind it against 369, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of VALKYRIE CONNECT's written reviews are positive against 61% of Grimlight's.

VALKYRIE CONNECT ships an update every 2 weeks, Grimlight fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
