# FacePlus vs FaceStyle

The clearest difference is ads: FacePlus at none against FaceStyle's shown. FacePlus also leads on ratings volume (5.5K vs 153). FaceStyle's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 16%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FacePlus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and FaceStyle sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for FacePlus against 4.5 for FaceStyle. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FacePlus has 5.5K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 16% of FacePlus's written reviews are positive against 29% of FaceStyle's.

FacePlus ships an update weekly, FaceStyle fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
