# Playdead's LIMBO vs CASE

The clearest difference is update cadence: CASE at weekly against Playdead's LIMBO's every 3 months. CASE also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 69%) and price ($2.99 vs $3.99). Playdead's LIMBO's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 52) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Playdead's LIMBO costs $3.99 and CASE $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Playdead's LIMBO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Playdead's LIMBO has 2.7K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Playdead's LIMBO's written reviews are positive against 88% of CASE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Playdead's LIMBO ships an update every 3 months, CASE weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
