# Nike vs SKIMS

Nike and SKIMS both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 66% of SKIMS's written reviews are positive against 25% of Nike's. SKIMS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Nike's advantage is ratings volume (1.7M vs 59K) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Nike against 4.9 for SKIMS. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nike has 1.7M ratings behind it against 59K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 25% of Nike's written reviews are positive against 66% of SKIMS's.

Nike ships an update weekly, SKIMS every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
