Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BlurFace at none against MosaicLabs's 1. BlurFace also leads on ratings volume (120 vs 2). MosaicLabs's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MosaicLabs sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BlurFace asks for nothing beyond the download.
MosaicLabs holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlurFace has 120 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of MosaicLabs's written reviews are positive against 57% of BlurFace's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MosaicLabs ships an update every 28 months, BlurFace every 49 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
