# Cutting Studio vs Design Maker For Craft Space

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Design Maker For Craft Space at 71% against Cutting Studio's 53%. Cutting Studio's advantage is ratings volume (973 vs 45) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cutting Studio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Design Maker For Craft Space sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
