Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Perfume Advisor at 4.6 against Perfumedia's 2.9. Perfume Advisor also leads on ratings volume (341 vs 13). Perfumedia's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 39%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Perfume Advisor sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Perfumedia sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Perfume Advisor holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Perfume Advisor has 341 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Perfume Advisor's written reviews are positive against 75% of Perfumedia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
