# Minipaper vs Theme Studio

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Theme Studio at 100% against Minipaper's 48%. Theme Studio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Minipaper's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Minipaper sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 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 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minipaper has 87 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Minipaper's written reviews are positive against 100% of Theme Studio's.

Minipaper ships an update fortnightly, Theme Studio weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
