Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Studios Tour at 100% against Official Comic's 18%. Studios Tour also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.1) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Official Comic's advantage is ratings volume (459 vs 9) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Studios Tour holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1.

Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Official Comic's written reviews are positive against 100% of Studios Tour's.
Official Comic ships an update every 3 months, Studios Tour every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
