# Iconic vs Theme Studio

The clearest difference is rating: Theme Studio at 5.0 against Iconic's 4.4. Theme Studio also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Iconic's advantage is ratings volume (58 vs 7) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Iconic sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Theme Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Theme Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Iconic has 58 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Iconic's written reviews are positive against 100% of Theme Studio's.

Iconic ships an update monthly, Theme Studio weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
