Verdict
Madewell and BÉIS both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 62% of BÉIS's written reviews are positive against 11% of Madewell's. BÉIS also leads on ads (none vs shown). Madewell's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
