# Superliminal vs purple (game)

The clearest difference is ads: Superliminal at none against purple (game)'s shown. Superliminal also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 221). purple (game)'s advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 72%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Superliminal sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and purple (game) 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 — 4.7 for Superliminal against 4.6 for purple (game). That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superliminal has 1.3K ratings behind it against 221, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Superliminal's written reviews are positive against 91% of purple (game)'s.

Superliminal ships an update every 8 days, purple (game) every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
