# Amazon Shopping vs OLX

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OLX at none against Amazon Shopping's 4. OLX also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Amazon Shopping's advantage is ratings volume (8.4M vs 4.1K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Amazon Shopping sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. OLX asks for nothing beyond the download.

Amazon Shopping holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazon Shopping has 8.4M ratings behind it against 4.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Amazon Shopping's written reviews are positive against 31% of OLX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Amazon Shopping ships an update fortnightly, OLX weekly. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
