Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mini Murder Mysteries at every 3 days against Ghost Case's monthly. Mini Murder Mysteries also leads on ratings volume (87 vs 11) and price ($1.79 vs $2.99). Ghost Case's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%) and chart position (#131 vs unranked). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mini Murder Mysteries holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mini Murder Mysteries has 87 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Ghost Case's written reviews are positive against 81% of Mini Murder Mysteries's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ghost Case ships an update monthly, Mini Murder Mysteries every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
