Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Glassy at free with in-app purchases against SkinJoy's subscription. Glassy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). SkinJoy's advantage is ratings volume (522 vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Glassy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SkinJoy sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Glassy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SkinJoy has 522 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Glassy's written reviews are positive against 68% of SkinJoy's.
Glassy ships an update every 3 weeks, SkinJoy every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on July 31, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
