# Oxytone vs Superliminal

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Superliminal at 1.3K against Oxytone's 97. Superliminal also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Oxytone's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Oxytone sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Superliminal sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Superliminal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superliminal has 1.3K ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Oxytone'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.

Oxytone ships an update every 3 weeks, Superliminal every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
