# Captain Nemo vs Crime City

The clearest difference is update cadence: Crime City at every 2 months against Captain Nemo's every 22 months. Crime City also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.4). Captain Nemo's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 679). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Captain Nemo sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Crime City sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Captain Nemo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Captain Nemo has 3.7K ratings behind it against 679, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Captain Nemo's written reviews are positive against 82% of Crime City's.

Captain Nemo ships an update every 22 months, Crime City every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
