Cosmopolitan isn't just a magazine, it's a religion. Now in its 15th year in India, Cosmopolitan is the world's largest selling magazine, with 200 million readers annually in a 100 countries. It is published in over 26 languages, but at its core, it speaks only one – that of fun fearless females globally. Another language it speaks? That of stupendous success! Each month Cosmopolitan features some of the biggest celebrity names on its cover; it has launched the glamour careers of more gorgeous girls than we can count. Top Indian actresses, models and singers have been on the cover of Cosmopolitan before the rest of the world recognised their spark-because we know a fun fearless female when we see one! When we put someone on the Cosmopolitan cover, we acknowledge her right to be counted among the best in the business. Love, sex, relationships and men are at the heart of Cosmopolitan, but there’s also style and beauty, health and fitness, work and leisure, celebrity and entertainment. Perhaps most unique is the way in which Cosmopolitan blends glamorous and gutsy, intimate and open-minded. It brings women across the world in countries as diverse as Finland, South Africa and India, together on a common platform. Cosmopolitan is about celebrating women; it supports, encourages, entertains, amuses, inspires and uplifts-helping its readers be the very best that they can be. For a girl who thinks of herself as fun and fearless, there's simply no other magazine.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MANGAYAR MALAR at 3.1 against Cosmopolitan India's 1.0. MANGAYAR MALAR also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 11.0). Cosmopolitan India's advantage is review sentiment (37% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cosmopolitan India sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.79 per 3 months and MANGAYAR MALAR sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MANGAYAR MALAR holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MANGAYAR MALAR has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Cosmopolitan India's written reviews are positive against 0% of MANGAYAR MALAR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cosmopolitan India ships an update every 6 weeks, MANGAYAR MALAR every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
