# Grim Tales 17 vs Twilight Land

The clearest difference is ads: Grim Tales 17 at none against Twilight Land's shown. Twilight Land's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (10K vs 429). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grim Tales 17 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Twilight Land sells 18 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 — 4.7 for Grim Tales 17 against 4.6 for Twilight Land. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twilight Land has 10K ratings behind it against 429, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of Grim Tales 17's written reviews are positive against 66% of Twilight Land's.

Grim Tales 17 ships an update every 6 months, Twilight Land weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
