# Makeup＋ vs GlowAI

The clearest difference is rating: GlowAI at 5.0 against Makeup＋'s 4.5. GlowAI also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Makeup＋'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (733 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Makeup＋ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GlowAI sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GlowAI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Makeup＋ has 733 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Makeup＋ ships an update every 3 months, GlowAI fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
