# Keyboard for Stories vs Font Maker

The clearest difference is ads: Keyboard for Stories at none against Font Maker's shown. Keyboard for Stories also leads on review sentiment (29% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Font Maker's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (8.2K vs 9). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Keyboard for Stories sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Font Maker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Font Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Font Maker has 8.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Keyboard for Stories's written reviews are positive against 20% of Font Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Keyboard for Stories ships an update fortnightly, Font Maker every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
