Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ambition at 4.5 against Crime.Life's 3.0. Ambition also leads on ratings volume (60 vs 1). Crime.Life's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Crime.Life sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Ambition sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ambition holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ambition has 60 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Crime.Life's written reviews are positive against 50% of Ambition's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Crime.Life ships an update every 2 weeks, Ambition every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 7, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
