Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vuga at none against Sticker Maker's 3. Vuga also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Sticker Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 25 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sticker Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Vuga asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sticker Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticker Maker has 368 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Vuga's written reviews are positive against 60% of Sticker Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Vuga ships an update every 25 months, Sticker Maker every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
