# INKHUNTER vs Tattoo Maker

The clearest difference is rating: INKHUNTER at 4.7 against Tattoo Maker's 3.8. INKHUNTER also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (25K vs 31). Tattoo Maker's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 34%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. INKHUNTER sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Tattoo Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

INKHUNTER holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INKHUNTER has 25K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of INKHUNTER's written reviews are positive against 50% of Tattoo Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

INKHUNTER ships an update every 2 weeks, Tattoo Maker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
