ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fonts holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fonts Manager has 93 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Fonts Manager's written reviews are positive against 0% of Fonts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fonts Manager ships an update every 4 months, Fonts every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 25, 2026 respectively.
