# X Icon Changer vs Theme Studio

The clearest difference is rating: Theme Studio at 5.0 against X Icon Changer's 4.5. Theme Studio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). X Icon Changer's advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 7) and chart position (#155 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. X Icon Changer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Theme Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Theme Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X Icon Changer has 6.1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
