ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

xTool Creative Space holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xTool Creative Space has 1.2K ratings behind it against 104, 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 51% of Prusa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
