# Elevate vs Imprint

The clearest difference is monetization model: Elevate at freemium against Imprint's subscription. Elevate also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 38%) and ratings volume (544K vs 58K). Imprint's advantage is chart position (#9 vs #31). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elevate sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Imprint sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 Elevate against 4.8 for Imprint. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elevate has 544K ratings behind it against 58K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Elevate's written reviews are positive against 38% of Imprint's.

Elevate ships an update weekly, Imprint every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
