Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: BitLife at 1.8M against Perfect Lie's 139K. BitLife also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#11 vs #84). Perfect Lie's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. BitLife sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Perfect Lie sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for BitLife against 4.7 for Perfect Lie. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BitLife has 1.8M ratings behind it against 139K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of BitLife's written reviews are positive against 48% of Perfect Lie's.
BitLife ships an update every 11 days, Perfect Lie every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
