Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Zulily at none against Gratsy's shown. Zulily also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 42%) and ratings volume (725K vs 2.6K). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
Zulily holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zulily has 725K ratings behind it against 2.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Zulily's written reviews are positive against 42% of Gratsy's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
