Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Bimostitch at $7.99 against Distressed FX's $19.99. Bimostitch also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Distressed FX's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 33). On ads, monetization model, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Distressed FX holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Distressed FX has 1.2K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Distressed FX's written reviews are positive against 83% of Bimostitch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Distressed FX ships an update every 3 months, Bimostitch every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
