ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Avatarify holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Avatarify has 44K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Avatarify's written reviews are positive against 100% of TapStepSnap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Avatarify ships an update every 3 weeks, TapStepSnap every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
