# Cut Outs vs Artifact

The clearest difference is rating: Artifact at 4.9 against Cut Outs's 3.5. Artifact also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and ratings volume (15 vs 2). Cut Outs's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cut Outs sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Artifact sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Artifact holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Artifact has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Cut Outs's written reviews are positive against 100% of Artifact's.

Cut Outs ships an update every 3 weeks, Artifact every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
