# Manikin vs Stop Motion

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Manikin at 74% against Stop Motion's 33%. Manikin also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 23). Stop Motion's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manikin sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stop Motion sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Manikin holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manikin has 4.4K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Manikin's written reviews are positive against 33% of Stop Motion's.
