# Township vs Project Makeover

The clearest difference is ads: Township at none against Project Makeover's shown. Township also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Project Makeover's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 29%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Township sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Project Makeover sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Township holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.2M and 799K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Township's written reviews are positive against 46% of Project Makeover's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Township ships an update every 2 weeks, Project Makeover fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
