ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Imprint holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Imprint has 58K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Name Skillz's written reviews are positive against 38% of Imprint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Name Skillz ships an update fortnightly, Imprint every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
