# StickerHub vs Leapbox

The clearest difference is ads: Leapbox at none against StickerHub's shown. Leapbox also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). StickerHub's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (13K vs 711). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StickerHub sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Leapbox sells 5 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 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StickerHub has 13K ratings behind it against 711, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of StickerHub's written reviews are positive against 10% of Leapbox's.

StickerHub ships an update every 5 weeks, Leapbox every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
