Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kawaii SELECT at none against Character Maker's 13. Kawaii SELECT also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Character Maker's advantage is ratings volume (7.5K vs 1.4K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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. Character Maker sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Kawaii SELECT asks for nothing beyond the download.
Kawaii SELECT holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Character Maker has 7.5K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Character Maker's written reviews are positive against 86% of Kawaii SELECT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Character Maker ships an update every 5 weeks, Kawaii SELECT every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
