# Dream Detective vs ReverseMath

The clearest difference is rating: ReverseMath at 5.0 against Dream Detective's 4.3. ReverseMath also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). Dream Detective's advantage is ratings volume (134 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dream Detective sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and ReverseMath sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReverseMath holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dream Detective has 134 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Dream Detective ships an update every 6 weeks, ReverseMath every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
