# The Sticker Maker vs TV Smart Player

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Sticker Maker at 80% against TV Smart Player's 13%. The Sticker Maker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). TV Smart Player's advantage is rating (3.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (561 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Sticker Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and TV Smart Player sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TV Smart Player holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Smart Player has 561 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of The Sticker Maker's written reviews are positive against 13% of TV Smart Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Sticker Maker ships an update every 10 days, TV Smart Player every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
