Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Unteachable Courses at none against Liminal's 1. Unteachable Courses also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Liminal's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
