Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: UpperMark eReader at 100% against Imprint's 38%. UpperMark eReader also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Imprint's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (60K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Imprint holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Imprint has 60K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Imprint's written reviews are positive against 100% of UpperMark eReader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Imprint ships an update every 4 days, UpperMark eReader every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
