# Theme Studio vs SkinForge

The clearest difference is update cadence: SkinForge at every 2 days against Theme Studio's weekly. Theme Studio's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Theme Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SkinForge sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Theme Studio against 5.0 for SkinForge. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Theme Studio has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Theme Studio ships an update weekly, SkinForge every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
