# Lights Out vs Dot Fill

The clearest difference is ads: Lights Out at none against Dot Fill's shown. Lights Out also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Dot Fill's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lights Out sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Dot Fill sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lights Out ships an update every 2 weeks, Dot Fill weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
