Verdict
PHILIP B. and Planet Beauty both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of PHILIP B.'s written reviews are positive against 64% of Planet Beauty's. Planet Beauty's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 58). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
