Verdict

The clearest difference is ads: Grim Tales 24 at none against Time Trap 2's shown. Grim Tales 24 also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 16 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Time Trap 2's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 423). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Trap 2 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 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.4K and 423 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Time Trap 2'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

Time Trap 2 ships an update every 16 months, Grim Tales 24 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
