Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Emily Cosmetics at none against ALO's shown. Emily Cosmetics also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). ALO's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (196K vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for ALO against 5.0 for Emily Cosmetics. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ALO has 196K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ALO ships an update fortnightly, Emily Cosmetics every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
