# Stemulator vs MixAlign

The clearest difference is rating: MixAlign at 5.0 against Stemulator's 4.7. Stemulator's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stemulator sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and MixAlign sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MixAlign holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stemulator has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
