# Consumer Reports vs MTailor

Consumer Reports and MTailor both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of MTailor's written reviews are positive against 28% of Consumer Reports's. MTailor also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Consumer Reports's advantage is ratings volume (64K vs 5K) and chart position (#9 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Consumer Reports sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. MTailor asks for nothing beyond the download.

Consumer Reports holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Consumer Reports has 64K ratings behind it against 5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Consumer Reports's written reviews are positive against 80% of MTailor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Consumer Reports ships an update every 2 weeks, MTailor fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
