Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: StyleSeat at none against SQUIRE™'s shown. StyleSeat also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (291K vs 14K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases 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.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for StyleSeat against 4.9 for SQUIRE™.
