Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Express at none against MBeauty's shown. Express also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 115) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). MBeauty's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
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.
MBeauty holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Express has 23K ratings behind it against 115, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Express's written reviews are positive against 100% of MBeauty's.
Express ships an update every 9 days, MBeauty every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
