Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Handwoven at 63% against Quiltmaker Magazine's 3%. Handwoven also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (302 vs 13). Quiltmaker Magazine's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quiltmaker Magazine sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Handwoven sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Handwoven holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Handwoven has 302 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 3% of Quiltmaker Magazine's written reviews are positive against 63% of Handwoven's.
Quiltmaker Magazine ships an update every 7 months, Handwoven every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
