# GettyGuide vs MuseumStars

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GettyGuide at 50% against MuseumStars's 0%. GettyGuide also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 7). MuseumStars's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

MuseumStars holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GettyGuide has 43 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of GettyGuide's written reviews are positive against 0% of MuseumStars's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GettyGuide ships an update every 2 months, MuseumStars every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
