Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Nowhere Prophet at every 8 days against Imperium's monthly. Imperium's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Imperium sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Nowhere Prophet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Imperium holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 38 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Imperium's written reviews are positive against 77% of Nowhere Prophet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Imperium ships an update monthly, Nowhere Prophet every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
