# Express vs Dillard's

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Express at 71% against Dillard's's 23%. Express also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (23K vs 4K). Dillard's's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Dillard's holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Express has 23K ratings behind it against 4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Express's written reviews are positive against 23% of Dillard's's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Express ships an update every 9 days, Dillard's monthly. Both last shipped on October 3, 2026.
