# Wallpapers Now vs Theme Studio

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Theme Studio at 100% against Wallpapers Now's 64%. Theme Studio also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Wallpapers Now's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 4) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wallpapers Now sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.19 per month 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 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wallpapers Now has 4.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Wallpapers Now's written reviews are positive against 100% of Theme Studio's.

Wallpapers Now ships an update monthly, Theme Studio weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
