# Meanwhile vs Stickers Punch

The clearest difference is rating: Meanwhile at 5.0 against Stickers Punch's 3.8. Meanwhile also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Stickers Punch's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 46%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meanwhile sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Stickers Punch sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Meanwhile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stickers Punch has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Meanwhile's written reviews are positive against 63% of Stickers Punch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meanwhile ships an update monthly, Stickers Punch every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
