# Imprint vs Liminal

Imprint and Liminal both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Liminal's written reviews are positive against 38% of Imprint's. Liminal also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Imprint's advantage is ratings volume (60K vs 5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Imprint sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month and Liminal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Imprint against 4.8 for Liminal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Imprint has 60K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 38% of Imprint's written reviews are positive against 100% of Liminal's.

Imprint ships an update every 4 days, Liminal every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
