Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Imaengine at none against Silhouette's shown. Imaengine also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (59% vs 48%). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Silhouette sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Imaengine sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Silhouette holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 35 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Silhouette's written reviews are positive against 59% of Imaengine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Silhouette ships an update every 3 months, Imaengine every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
