Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StudioDee at none against Verizon Family's 1. StudioDee also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Verizon Family's advantage is ratings volume (39K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Verizon Family sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. StudioDee asks for nothing beyond the download.
StudioDee holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Verizon Family has 39K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Verizon Family ships an update every 2 weeks, StudioDee every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
