Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AI Emojis at 4.7 against Emoji Studio's 4.0. AI Emojis also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Emoji Studio's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Emoji Studio sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and AI Emojis sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AI Emojis holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Emojis has 5.8K ratings behind it against 239, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 76% and 77% positive.
Emoji Studio ships an update every 2 weeks, AI Emojis every 2 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
