# Dollify vs Avatar Maker

The clearest difference is ads: Dollify at none against Avatar Maker's shown. Dollify also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 50%) and ratings volume (63K vs 220). Avatar Maker's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dollify sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Avatar Maker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 — 4.5 for Dollify against 4.4 for Avatar Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dollify has 63K ratings behind it against 220, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Dollify's written reviews are positive against 50% of Avatar Maker's.

Dollify ships an update monthly, Avatar Maker weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
