The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fontmaker at 66% against Font Maker's 28%. Fontmaker also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (126K vs 2.1K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Fontmaker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Font Maker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fontmaker holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fontmaker has 126K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Fontmaker's written reviews are positive against 28% of Font Maker's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
