Both are free to download. Boxes sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months and BeautyMark Inventory sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BeautyMark Inventory holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxes has 953 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Boxes's written reviews are positive against 83% of BeautyMark Inventory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Boxes ships an update every 3 weeks, BeautyMark Inventory every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
