# Face Swap vs FaceShow

The clearest difference is ads: FaceShow at none against Face Swap's shown. FaceShow also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Face Swap's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 21%) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 128). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Face Swap sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and FaceShow sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Face Swap against 4.4 for FaceShow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Face Swap has 1.8K ratings behind it against 128, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Face Swap's written reviews are positive against 21% of FaceShow's.

Face Swap ships an update every 5 weeks, FaceShow fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
