Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Princess Tale at 4.6 against Grimlight's 4.1. Princess Tale also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Grimlight's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 51%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence 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. Princess Tale sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Grimlight sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Princess Tale holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 411 and 369 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Princess Tale's written reviews are positive against 61% of Grimlight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Princess Tale ships an update every 3 weeks, Grimlight fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
