Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Grim Tales 24 at none against Captain Nemo's shown. Grim Tales 24 also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 22 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Captain Nemo's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 69%) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 412). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Captain Nemo sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Grim Tales 24 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Grim Tales 24 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Captain Nemo has 3.6K ratings behind it against 412, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Captain Nemo's written reviews are positive against 69% of Grim Tales 24's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Captain Nemo ships an update every 22 months, Grim Tales 24 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
