# PatternGenius vs StitchTrick

The clearest difference is rating: StitchTrick at 5.0 against PatternGenius's 4.2. StitchTrick also leads on device support (4 vs 2). PatternGenius's advantage is ratings volume (45 vs 1) and review sentiment (43% vs 33%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PatternGenius sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and StitchTrick sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StitchTrick holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PatternGenius has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of PatternGenius's written reviews are positive against 33% of StitchTrick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 9, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
