# Split Studio vs StemLab

The clearest difference is rating: Split Studio at 5.0 against StemLab's 4.5. Split Studio also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). StemLab's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (28 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Split Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and StemLab sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Split Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StemLab has 28 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Split Studio's written reviews are positive against 67% of StemLab's.

Split Studio ships an update every 4 days, StemLab every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
