# Watermark vs Cursive Logo

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cursive Logo at free with in-app purchases against Watermark's subscription. Cursive Logo also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (82% vs 54%). Watermark's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 872) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Watermark sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and Cursive Logo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cursive Logo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Watermark has 19K ratings behind it against 872, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Watermark's written reviews are positive against 82% of Cursive Logo's.

Watermark ships an update weekly, Cursive Logo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
