Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stopmotion Animation Studio at 3.9 against iMotion Remote's 2.8. Stopmotion Animation Studio also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 72 months) and ratings volume (383 vs 6). iMotion Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 10.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stopmotion Animation Studio sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. iMotion Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.
Stopmotion Animation Studio holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stopmotion Animation Studio has 383 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of iMotion Remote's written reviews are positive against 40% of Stopmotion Animation Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iMotion Remote ships an update every 72 months, Stopmotion Animation Studio every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
