# Chapters vs Makeover Date

The clearest difference is rating: Chapters at 4.4 against Makeover Date's 3.4. Chapters also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 32%) and ratings volume (115K vs 33). Makeover Date's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chapters sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Makeover Date sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chapters holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chapters has 115K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Chapters's written reviews are positive against 32% of Makeover Date's.

Chapters ships an update every 6 weeks, Makeover Date every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
