Your iPhone is the best mirror you own. Mirror turns it into an instant, edge-to-edge reflection with zero distractions — no filters, no feed, no ads. Open the app and you're looking at yourself. That's it. EVERYTHING A GLASS MIRROR CAN'T DO: - Full-screen, edge-to-edge front-camera view - Night mode — a bright frame that lights your face in the dark - Zoom presets (1x, 2x) and a continuous slider for brows, teeth, and contacts - One-tap freeze frame to pause and inspect the details - Share snapshots instantly via the share sheet - Tap to hide all controls for a completely clean mirror - Left- or right-side controls for one-handed use - Lock Screen widget: your mirror is one tap from a locked phone MADE FOR REAL MOMENTS: Quick checks before meetings, dates, and photos. Makeup in bad bathroom light. Contacts and brows up close. Teeth after lunch. Mirror keeps the interface minimal so your face stays the focus. PAY ONCE, OWN IT FOREVER: Download free, then unlock Mirror with a single lifetime purchase — or a subscription that starts with a free week. Either way there are no ads, no filters, and no account.

Ring Light
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lighted makeup mirror and selfie ring light for iPhone and iPad. Turn your screen into an adjustable light with an optional live mirror. Choose Ring for light around your reflection, or Panel to light your face with the whole screen. Pick a warm, natural or cool tone, set the intensity and make the ring thicker for more light. Perfect for makeup, shaving, touch-ups and looking your best on video calls. LIVE MIRROR • Front-camera mirror, turned on only when you ask • Pinch to zoom from 1x to 3x, double-tap to reset • Full screen hides every control for a clean, luminous screen PHOTOS (NEW) • In full screen, take a photo with the on-screen shutter • Photos save to your own library only when you take one • Front photos match your mirror, or turn mirroring off in Settings BRIGHT, BUT CAREFUL • Optional maximum brightness while the app is open; your usual brightness returns when you leave • Extra brightness (HDR) on supported displays, eased off automatically if the device gets hot PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no analytics, nothing uploaded. The live preview stays on your device, and the app can add photos to your library but never read it. Available in English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. Ring Light Mirror uses your screen, not the hardware flash, and is not a calibrated studio light.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ring Light at none against Mirror's 10. Ring Light also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
