# GUCCI vs The About

The clearest difference is rating: The About at 5.0 against GUCCI's 4.0. The About also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (daily vs monthly). GUCCI's advantage is ratings volume (476 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GUCCI sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. The About asks for nothing beyond the download.

The About holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GUCCI has 476 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GUCCI ships an update monthly, The About daily. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
