# @Mirror vs Mirror Royal

The clearest difference is ads: @Mirror at none against Mirror Royal's shown. @Mirror also leads on ratings volume (8.2K vs 135) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. @Mirror sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mirror Royal sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for @Mirror against 4.7 for Mirror Royal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: @Mirror has 8.2K ratings behind it against 135, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of @Mirror's written reviews are positive against 71% of Mirror Royal's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
