# ZARA vs SKIMS

The clearest difference is update cadence: ZARA at every 2 days against SKIMS's every 2 weeks. ZARA also leads on ratings volume (413K vs 58K) and chart position (#54 vs #176). SKIMS's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 41%). On price, rating, 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for ZARA against 4.9 for SKIMS. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZARA has 413K ratings behind it against 58K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 41% of ZARA's written reviews are positive against 66% of SKIMS's.

ZARA ships an update every 2 days, SKIMS every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
