Verdict
REVOLVE and Nordstrom both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Nordstrom's written reviews are positive against 63% of REVOLVE's. Nordstrom also leads on ratings volume (1.5M vs 144K). REVOLVE's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for REVOLVE against 4.9 for Nordstrom. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nordstrom has 1.5M ratings behind it against 144K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of REVOLVE's written reviews are positive against 85% of Nordstrom's.
