Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ploink at none against Superliminal's 2. Ploink also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). Superliminal's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
