# Fonts Air vs Font Maker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fonts Air at 76% against Font Maker's 20%. Fonts Air also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fonts Air sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days 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.

Fonts Air holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fonts Air has 54K ratings behind it against 8.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Fonts Air's written reviews are positive against 20% of Font Maker's.

Fonts Air ships an update every 3 weeks, Font Maker every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
