Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Stickman at 3.9 against Anime Maker's 3.4. Stickman also leads on ads (none vs shown). Anime Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (54% vs 40%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anime Maker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Stickman sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stickman holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.1K and 253 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Anime Maker's written reviews are positive against 40% of Stickman's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Anime Maker ships an update every 11 days, Stickman every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
