# Comic Book Maker vs Comic Book Studio

The clearest difference is rating: Comic Book Studio at 5.0 against Comic Book Maker's 4.3. Comic Book Studio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Comic Book Maker's advantage is ratings volume (101 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Comic Book Maker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Comic Book Studio sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Comic Book Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comic Book Maker has 101 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Comic Book Maker ships an update fortnightly, Comic Book Studio weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
