Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NuFACE® holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NuFACE® has 19K ratings behind it against 368, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of NuFACE®'s written reviews are positive against 28% of Hand and Stone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NuFACE® ships an update every 10 days, Hand and Stone every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
