Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Superfluent at 4K against Dreaming's 236. Superfluent also leads on chart position (#185 vs unranked) and review sentiment (93% vs 81%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Dreaming sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Superfluent sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. 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 Dreaming against 4.9 for Superfluent. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superfluent has 4K ratings behind it against 236, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Dreaming's written reviews are positive against 93% of Superfluent's.
Dreaming ships an update every 10 days, Superfluent every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
