Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Superliminal at Free against Snakebird Primer's $7.99. Superliminal also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 21) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Snakebird Primer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Superliminal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superliminal has 1.3K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Snakebird Primer's written reviews are positive against 72% of Superliminal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
