Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ChibiStudio at none against Armor Avater Maker's shown. ChibiStudio also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 367). Armor Avater Maker's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 77%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ChibiStudio sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Armor Avater Maker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for ChibiStudio against 4.7 for Armor Avater Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChibiStudio has 23K ratings behind it against 367, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of ChibiStudio's written reviews are positive against 94% of Armor Avater Maker's.
ChibiStudio ships an update monthly, Armor Avater Maker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
