In addition, there is NO subscription required, a one time purchase and the app is yours forever. Plus, you would also be supporting a small Canadian developer, which is pretty cool! Accessibility is a major component of the app and something I am quite proud of supporting the following: - VoiceOver - Voice control - High contrast modes - Dark/light mode - Navigation without colours Fibre art should be for everyone and I strive to make my app as accessible as possible to support that! The app is perfect fibre artists who want a simple, but powerful, way to manage their supplies and stay organized.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: StashTracker at every 3 weeks against Sewing thread's every 6 months. StashTracker also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
