# Makeover Merge vs Lovescapes

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lovescapes at 65% against Makeover Merge's 24%. Lovescapes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Makeover Merge's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 2.6K) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Makeover Merge sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Lovescapes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lovescapes holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Makeover Merge has 15K ratings behind it against 2.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Makeover Merge's written reviews are positive against 65% of Lovescapes's.

Makeover Merge ships an update fortnightly, Lovescapes weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
