# Stitch Creator vs SewBuddy

SewBuddy's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (349 vs 17). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stitch Creator sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and SewBuddy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
