# Singularity vs Last Light

The clearest difference is monetization model: Singularity at free against Last Light's free with in-app purchases. Singularity also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (67% vs 50%). Last Light's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.8). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Singularity sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Last Light sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Last Light holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Singularity's written reviews are positive against 50% of Last Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Singularity ships an update every 3 days, Last Light fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
