# Makeover Games vs Project Makeup

Makeover Games and Project Makeup both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Project Makeup's written reviews are positive against 41% of Makeover Games's. Makeover Games's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (43K vs 284). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Makeover Games sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Project Makeup sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. 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 Makeover Games against 4.6 for Project Makeup. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Makeover Games has 43K ratings behind it against 284, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 41% of Makeover Games's written reviews are positive against 100% of Project Makeup's.

Makeover Games ships an update every 3 weeks, Project Makeup every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
