Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: StencilPro at 4.6 against Line's 3.4. StencilPro also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (421 vs 8). Line's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Line sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and StencilPro sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
