# Face Exercises vs MirrorBuddy

The clearest difference is rating: MirrorBuddy at 5.0 against Face Exercises's 4.4. MirrorBuddy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 70%). Face Exercises's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Face Exercises sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and MirrorBuddy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MirrorBuddy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Face Exercises has 4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Face Exercises's written reviews are positive against 100% of MirrorBuddy's.

Face Exercises ships an update weekly, MirrorBuddy every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
