Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pacsun at none against Tillys's shown. Pacsun also leads on ratings volume (67K vs 3.3K) and chart position (#133 vs unranked). Tillys's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tillys holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pacsun has 67K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Pacsun's written reviews are positive against 38% of Tillys's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pacsun ships an update every 5 weeks, Tillys every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
