# Drybar vs M Mercier

The clearest difference is rating: M Mercier at 4.2 against Drybar's 2.5. M Mercier also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.4). Drybar's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

M Mercier holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drybar has 34 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Drybar's written reviews are positive against 0% of M Mercier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
