Verdict
Madewell and ABLE Clothing both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ABLE Clothing's written reviews are positive against 11% of Madewell's. ABLE Clothing also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Madewell's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 169). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
