# The Woodworker vs Craft DIY Tutorial

The clearest difference is update cadence: Craft DIY Tutorial at fortnightly against The Woodworker's every 14 months. Craft DIY Tutorial also leads on ratings volume (542 vs 4). The Woodworker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Woodworker sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per 3 months and Craft DIY Tutorial sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Woodworker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft DIY Tutorial has 542 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of The Woodworker's written reviews are positive against 55% of Craft DIY Tutorial's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Woodworker ships an update every 14 months, Craft DIY Tutorial fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
