Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stick Animator at 65% against Fanart's 0%. Stick Animator also leads on ratings volume (953 vs 32) and device support (3 vs 1). Fanart's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fanart holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stick Animator has 953 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Stick Animator's written reviews are positive against 0% of Fanart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stick Animator ships an update fortnightly, Fanart every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
