Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Sticker Maker at 80% against StickerHub's 25%. The Sticker Maker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). StickerHub's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (13K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. StickerHub sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and The Sticker Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StickerHub holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StickerHub has 13K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of StickerHub's written reviews are positive against 80% of The Sticker Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

StickerHub ships an update every 5 weeks, The Sticker Maker every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
