When to Use In-App Messages
In-app messages are good for a lot of things. These messages don’t deliver outside of the user’s app and won’t intrude on their home screen. In-app messages, by their nature, exist within your app and come with context and are almost never unwelcome! They’re always delivered when the user is active within your app.

Modals appear in the center of the device’s screen with a screen overlay that helps it stand out from your app in the background. These are great call-to-action These are perfect for not-so-subtly suggesting that your user take advantage of a sale or giveaway.
