Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cutemii at none against Character Maker's shown. Cutemii also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Character Maker's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (7.5K vs 191). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Character Maker sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Cutemii sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Character Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2.
