# Live Portrait Maker vs Lily Style

The clearest difference is ads: Live Portrait Maker at none against Lily Style's shown. Live Portrait Maker also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 127). Lily Style's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 72%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Live Portrait Maker sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Lily Style sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Live Portrait Maker against 4.3 for Lily Style. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Live Portrait Maker has 3.5K ratings behind it against 127, so its average is the more settled of the two.
