Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GlassesGallery at none against polette's shown. GlassesGallery also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). polette's advantage is ratings volume (103 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
