# Anthropologie vs REFINERY

The clearest difference is ads: REFINERY at none against Anthropologie's shown. REFINERY also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Anthropologie's advantage is ratings volume (419K vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Anthropologie against 5.0 for REFINERY. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anthropologie has 419K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Anthropologie ships an update fortnightly, REFINERY every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
