Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ink at 5.0 against 7E Studio's 4.6. Ink also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16). 7E Studio's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 32%) and ratings volume (69 vs 19). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 7E Studio sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Ink sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ink holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 69 and 19 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of 7E Studio's written reviews are positive against 32% of Ink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

7E Studio ships an update every 8 days, Ink weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
