Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Methods at $2.99 against Death Come True's $12.99. Methods also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Death Come True's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (117 vs 9). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Death Come True holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Death Come True has 117 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Death Come True's written reviews are positive against 100% of Methods's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Death Come True ships an update weekly, Methods fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
