# Stop Motion Studio vs Live Color Finder

The clearest difference is update cadence: Stop Motion Studio at every 2 weeks against Live Color Finder's every 6 months. Stop Motion Studio also leads on ratings volume (82K vs 2) and chart position (#139 vs unranked). Live Color Finder's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stop Motion Studio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Live Color Finder sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
