Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fresha for customers at 4.9 against Discover App's 4.0. Fresha for customers also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (63K vs 4). Discover App's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fresha for customers holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fresha for customers has 63K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Fresha for customers's written reviews are positive against 85% of Discover App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fresha for customers ships an update every 5 days, Discover App every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
