# Tattoo Stencil vs Skinmark

The clearest difference is rating: Tattoo Stencil at 5.0 against Skinmark's 3.7. Skinmark's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tattoo Stencil sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Skinmark sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tattoo Stencil holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Tattoo Stencil's written reviews are positive against 100% of Skinmark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tattoo Stencil ships an update every 6 months, Skinmark weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
