# Emoji+ vs The Sticker Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Emoji+ at 4.5 against The Sticker Maker's 3.0. Emoji+ also leads on ratings volume (69K vs 2). The Sticker Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Emoji+ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and The Sticker Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Emoji+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Emoji+ has 69K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Emoji+'s written reviews are positive against 80% of The Sticker Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Emoji+ ships an update every 5 weeks, The Sticker Maker every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
