# ChibiStudio vs Easy Draw Chibi

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ChibiStudio at 23K against Easy Draw Chibi's 1. Easy Draw Chibi's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChibiStudio sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Easy Draw Chibi sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
