# Craft vs Studio

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Studio at none against Craft's 10. Studio also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Craft's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 2) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Craft sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Studio asks for nothing beyond the download.

Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft has 6.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Craft's written reviews are positive against 100% of Studio's.

Craft ships an update every 10 days, Studio every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
