# Prêt à Makeup vs Makeup Studio

The clearest difference is monetization model: Makeup Studio at free with in-app purchases against Prêt à Makeup's subscription. Prêt à Makeup's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 2.9K) and chart position (#121 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prêt à Makeup sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Makeup Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Prêt à Makeup against 4.4 for Makeup Studio. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prêt à Makeup has 38K ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 35% of Prêt à Makeup's written reviews are positive against 38% of Makeup Studio's.

Prêt à Makeup ships an update every 10 days, Makeup Studio fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
