# Daisy vs Cuty

Daisy and Cuty both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Daisy's written reviews are positive against 27% of Cuty's. Daisy also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Cuty's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 54) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daisy sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Cuty sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Daisy against 4.8 for Cuty. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cuty has 5.2K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Daisy's written reviews are positive against 27% of Cuty's.

Daisy ships an update weekly, Cuty every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
