# American Miniaturist vs Craft DIY Tutorial

The clearest difference is update cadence: Craft DIY Tutorial at fortnightly against American Miniaturist's every 12 months. Craft DIY Tutorial also leads on ratings volume (541 vs 14). American Miniaturist's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. American Miniaturist sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Craft DIY Tutorial sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

American Miniaturist 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 541 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of American Miniaturist'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.

American Miniaturist ships an update every 12 months, Craft DIY Tutorial fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
