# Fraksl vs Mandala Maker 360

The clearest difference is ads: Fraksl at none against Mandala Maker 360's shown. Fraksl also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (614 vs 47). Mandala Maker 360's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 12 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fraksl sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Mandala Maker 360 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fraksl holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fraksl has 614 ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Fraksl's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mandala Maker 360's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fraksl ships an update every 12 months, Mandala Maker 360 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
