Make your app icon without opening a computer. Place shapes and icons, pick your colors, and your own icon is done in minutes. ■ All with your fingers Drop a shape or an icon on the canvas, then drag, resize, and rotate it. There is nothing to set up, and undo and redo are always one tap away, so it is easy to try things. ■ Or let AI draft it for you Write a line about the app you are making and AI picks the shapes, icons, text, and colors and puts an icon together. You can also ask it to change an icon you already have. What you get is ordinary layers, so you finish it by hand from there. It needs an Anthropic API key of your own, and Anthropic bills you directly (the app shows an estimate for each request). Without a key, the feature stays off. ■ 45 shapes and over 3,700 icons Circles and rectangles, plus stars, hearts, clouds, leaves, and speech bubbles — 45 shapes in all — and over 3,700 bundled icons you can find by name or keyword. Fills are solid or gradient (linear, radial, angular), strokes have their own width, cap, and dash, and text can use any typeface on your device. ■ Photos too, cut out on device Import a photo and crop, scale, rotate, or color-correct it. Lifting the subject out runs on your device, so nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. ■ Draw once, export every size Finish one 1024×1024 artwork and export every size Xcode asks for: a complete AppIcon.appiconset, 18 sizes, as a ZIP. You can also export the 1024px PNG or save to Photos. Each size is redrawn at that size instead of being scaled down, so small icons stay sharp. There is no alpha channel, so the files go straight into Xcode and App Store Connect. ■ Check it at real size Icon grid and safe area guides, a rounded home screen preview, and a light / dark switch. Line up several candidates and compare them at 60 / 40 / 29 / 20pt. Alternates for the same app can be stacked into a single tile, so the list stays tidy however many you try, and you pick the one that sits in front. ■ Nothing leaves unless you ask AI This app has no server of its own. The icons you make, the photos you import, and your settings stay on your device. The only thing that ever leaves is what you write to the AI, together with the make-up of the icon, sent to Anthropic with your own key. Photos are never sent. There are no analytics and no ads. ■ Languages English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean ■ Free and Pro The free plan keeps up to 2 projects. Creating or duplicating a third one and beyond needs Pro. Projects you already made stay open to edit and export even after a subscription ends. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. · Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. · It renews automatically at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period. · Manage or cancel it in App Store settings. · Terms of Use: https://aucfan-suguru-yamada.github.io/app-icon-generator/terms.html · Privacy Policy: https://aucfan-suguru-yamada.github.io/app-icon-generator/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Widget Notes Home Lock Screen at none against iconMe's 2. iconMe's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
