Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Paws Almanac at 5.0 against Imieniny's 4.5. Paws Almanac also leads on ads (none vs shown). Imieniny's advantage is review sentiment (42% vs 17%) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). 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. Imieniny sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months and Paws Almanac sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Paws Almanac holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Imieniny has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Imieniny's written reviews are positive against 17% of Paws Almanac's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Imieniny ships an update every 6 weeks, Paws Almanac monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
