# Hair Dye! vs Wig Maker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hair Dye! at 214K against Wig Maker's 4.9K. Wig Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Hair Dye! against 4.5 for Wig Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hair Dye! has 214K ratings behind it against 4.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of Hair Dye!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Wig Maker's.

Hair Dye! ships an update fortnightly, Wig Maker every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
