Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: My Aveda at none against Yayday!'s shown. My Aveda also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Yayday!'s advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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.
My Aveda holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Aveda has 10K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of My Aveda's written reviews are positive against 80% of Yayday!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Aveda ships an update every 2 months, Yayday! every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
