Why I built StitchTally? I fell in love with Amigurumi crochet! They are very cute and fun to make. However, I found it difficult to keep track of my progress for each part of the amigurumi. I wanted an app that is very simple and easy to use, so I can focus on crocheting. That's when I decided to build StitchTally. I'm still using it for my own amigurumi projects every day, and added some features that I found useful. Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: YarnPixel at 100% against StitchTally's 60%. YarnPixel also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). StitchTally's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.3). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StitchTally holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StitchTally has 304 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of StitchTally's written reviews are positive against 100% of YarnPixel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

StitchTally ships an update every 3 weeks, YarnPixel fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
