Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: JOLSE at 2.6 against OLIVE YOUNG US's 1.9. JOLSE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). OLIVE YOUNG US's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (672 vs 52). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
JOLSE holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OLIVE YOUNG US has 672 ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of JOLSE's written reviews are positive against 24% of OLIVE YOUNG US's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JOLSE ships an update every 4 months, OLIVE YOUNG US every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
