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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Forever 21 against 4.8 for Tillys. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forever 21 has 473K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Forever 21's written reviews are positive against 38% of Tillys's.
Forever 21 ships an update monthly, Tillys every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
