ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StopMotionCraft holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StopMotionCraft has 267 ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Stop Motion Maker's written reviews are positive against 36% of StopMotionCraft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stop Motion Maker ships an update every 2 weeks, StopMotionCraft monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
