# Animaker vs Leonardo.Ai

The clearest difference is update cadence: Leonardo.Ai at every 6 days against Animaker's every 3 weeks. Leonardo.Ai also leads on chart position (#29 vs unranked) and ratings volume (11K vs 1.7K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Animaker sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Leonardo.Ai sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Animaker against 4.8 for Leonardo.Ai. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Leonardo.Ai has 11K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 53% of Animaker's written reviews are positive against 54% of Leonardo.Ai's.

Animaker ships an update every 3 weeks, Leonardo.Ai every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
