NightmareF costs $1.99 and Silverfish DX $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Silverfish DX holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Silverfish DX has 39 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of NightmareF's written reviews are positive against 71% of Silverfish DX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NightmareF ships an update every 3 weeks, Silverfish DX every 21 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
