ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cutting Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cutting Studio has 973 ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Cutting Studio's written reviews are positive against 71% of Design Maker For Craft Space's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cutting Studio ships an update every 2 weeks, Design Maker For Craft Space fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
