Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: The Glow Method at free with in-app purchases against ORRO's subscription. The Glow Method also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). ORRO's advantage is review sentiment (96% vs 88%). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ORRO sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and The Glow Method sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Glow Method holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 90 and 63 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of ORRO's written reviews are positive against 88% of The Glow Method's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ORRO ships an update every 3 months, The Glow Method every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
