# Stop Motion Video Editor vs 3D Filmmaker

The clearest difference is rating: Stop Motion Video Editor at 3.3 against 3D Filmmaker's 1.0. Stop Motion Video Editor also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (18 vs 1). 3D Filmmaker's advantage is ads (none vs shown).

Both are free to download. Stop Motion Video Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and 3D Filmmaker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
