ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AtomStack Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xTool Creative Space has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of xTool Creative Space's written reviews are positive against 7% of AtomStack Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

xTool Creative Space ships an update every 5 weeks, AtomStack Studio weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
