# Makeup Games vs Makeup Games

The clearest difference is monetization model: Makeup Games at free with in-app purchases against Makeup Games's subscription. Makeup Games also leads on ads (none vs shown). Makeup Games's advantage is review sentiment (58% vs 39%) and ratings volume (15K vs 2.7K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Makeup Games sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Makeup Games sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Makeup Games holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Makeup Games has 15K ratings behind it against 2.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
