Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Myidol · 3D Avatar Creator at 3.4 against MakeAvatar's 2.5. Myidol · 3D Avatar Creator also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 24) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). MakeAvatar's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 33%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Myidol · 3D Avatar Creator sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and MakeAvatar sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Myidol · 3D Avatar Creator holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Myidol · 3D Avatar Creator has 1.1K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Myidol · 3D Avatar Creator's written reviews are positive against 48% of MakeAvatar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Myidol · 3D Avatar Creator ships an update every 2 weeks, MakeAvatar every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
