Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Phonto at 58% against Fonts for DIY Space's 8%. Phonto also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Fonts for DIY Space's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phonto sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Fonts for DIY Space sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fonts for DIY Space holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fonts for DIY Space has 12K ratings behind it against 123, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Phonto's written reviews are positive against 8% of Fonts for DIY Space's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Phonto ships an update every 3 weeks, Fonts for DIY Space every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
