# STONE vs Spell Craft Studio

The clearest difference is rating: Spell Craft Studio at 4.8 against STONE's 4.1. Spell Craft Studio also leads on device support. STONE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (81% vs 50%). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spell Craft Studio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. STONE asks for nothing beyond the download.

Spell Craft Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STONE has 481 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of STONE's written reviews are positive against 50% of Spell Craft Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
