# Gloss vs Lash Dash

The clearest difference is update cadence: Gloss at every 10 days against Lash Dash's every 4 months. Gloss also leads on ratings volume (623 vs 118). Lash Dash's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 53%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gloss sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Lash Dash sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Gloss against 4.7 for Lash Dash. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gloss has 623 ratings behind it against 118, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 53% of Gloss's written reviews are positive against 65% of Lash Dash's.

Gloss ships an update every 10 days, Lash Dash every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
