# Makeup Studio vs Nail Diva

The clearest difference is ads: Nail Diva at none against Makeup Studio's shown. Nail Diva also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Makeup Studio's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 19%) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 103). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Makeup Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Nail Diva sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 — 4.4 for Makeup Studio against 4.4 for Nail Diva. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Makeup Studio has 2.9K ratings behind it against 103, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 38% of Makeup Studio's written reviews are positive against 19% of Nail Diva's.

Makeup Studio ships an update fortnightly, Nail Diva every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
