Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sisyphos at none against Faces+'s shown. Sisyphos also leads on ratings volume (371 vs 9) and review sentiment (82% vs 67%). Faces+'s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sisyphos sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Faces+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Faces+ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sisyphos has 371 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Sisyphos's written reviews are positive against 67% of Faces+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sisyphos ships an update every 2 months, Faces+ every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
