# Themes vs Masterbezel

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Masterbezel at 71% against Themes's 19%. Masterbezel also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Themes's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Themes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Masterbezel asks for nothing beyond the download.

Themes holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Themes has 2.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Themes's written reviews are positive against 71% of Masterbezel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Themes ships an update every 2 weeks, Masterbezel every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
