Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mirror Deluxe at 90% against FaceApp's 47%. Mirror Deluxe also leads on iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). FaceApp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Mirror Deluxe sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and FaceApp sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FaceApp holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FaceApp has 1.8M ratings behind it against 4.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Mirror Deluxe's written reviews are positive against 47% of FaceApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mirror Deluxe ships an update every 3 months, FaceApp every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
