# PopFic vs Makeover Date

The clearest difference is rating: PopFic at 4.2 against Makeover Date's 3.4. PopFic also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 32%) and ratings volume (669 vs 33). Makeover Date's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PopFic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 7 days and Makeover Date sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PopFic holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PopFic has 669 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of PopFic's written reviews are positive against 32% of Makeover Date's.

PopFic ships an update fortnightly, Makeover Date every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
