Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MelaMasta at 100% against PURE's 29%. MelaMasta also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). PURE's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (87K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. PURE sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and MelaMasta sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PURE holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PURE has 87K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of PURE's written reviews are positive against 100% of MelaMasta's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PURE ships an update every 11 days, MelaMasta every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
