Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GIF Maker Studio at 4.6 against Gify's 4.0. GIF Maker Studio also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (316 vs 1). Gify's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gify sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and GIF Maker Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GIF Maker Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GIF Maker Studio has 316 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Gify's written reviews are positive against 59% of GIF Maker Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gify ships an update every 6 months, GIF Maker Studio monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 2, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
