Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Limelines holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: appdater has 120 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of appdater's written reviews are positive against 0% of Limelines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
appdater ships an update every 2 months, Limelines monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 1, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
