# Sticker Maker vs Pack Studio

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pack Studio at 100% against Sticker Maker's 58%. Pack Studio also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Sticker Maker's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sticker Maker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Pack Studio sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pack Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticker Maker has 1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Sticker Maker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pack Studio's.

Sticker Maker ships an update every 6 weeks, Pack Studio every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
