# DreamNight vs LightsOut

The clearest difference is price: DreamNight at Free against LightsOut's $0.99. DreamNight also leads on ratings volume (107 vs 7) and device support (3 vs 1). LightsOut's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On ads there is nothing between them.

DreamNight is free to download; LightsOut costs $0.99 up front. DreamNight sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. LightsOut asks for nothing beyond the download.

LightsOut holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DreamNight has 107 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DreamNight ships an update every 2 months, LightsOut every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
