Verdict
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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
