# Lacquergram vs POLISHED

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: POLISHED at none against Lacquergram's 4. POLISHED also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). Lacquergram's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (206 vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lacquergram sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. POLISHED asks for nothing beyond the download.

POLISHED holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lacquergram has 206 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Lacquergram ships an update every 6 weeks, POLISHED every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
