What Imprint does well
Depth per topic
Its structured courses go further into a topic than a two-minute snap can, which is exactly what you want when you're studying something on purpose.
Excellent ratings
A 4.8★ App Store rating reflects a product people enjoy using, not just one they downloaded.
Where MindSnap differs
A fraction of the price
MindSnap Pro is $9.99/month or $44.99/year against Imprint's roughly $99.99/year, and our daily fact stays free with no trial countdown.
A ritual, not a curriculum
Imprint asks you to sit down with a course. MindSnap asks for two minutes and then leaves, which is the difference between something you intend to do and something you actually do.
Free means free
You can use MindSnap's daily fact forever without paying anything, and decide about Pro whenever you like.
