Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IOSU! at none against Liminality's 20. IOSU! also leads on ratings volume (353 vs 24) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Liminality's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (82% vs 63%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
