# Sticker Maker vs Sticker Maker

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sticker Maker at free with in-app purchases against Sticker Maker's subscription. Sticker Maker also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 1K) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Sticker Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (58% vs 45%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support 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 Sticker Maker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Sticker Maker against 4.7 for Sticker Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticker Maker has 11K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of Sticker Maker's written reviews are positive against 45% of Sticker Maker's.

Sticker Maker ships an update every 6 weeks, Sticker Maker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
