# Stop Motion Maker vs StopMotionCraft

The clearest difference is rating: StopMotionCraft at 4.6 against Stop Motion Maker's 3.8. StopMotionCraft also leads on ratings volume (267 vs 51). Stop Motion Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stop Motion Maker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and StopMotionCraft sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
