Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SalonCentric holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SalonCentric has 36K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of SalonCentric's written reviews are positive against 41% of L'Oréal Access's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SalonCentric ships an update every 5 weeks, L'Oréal Access every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
