Stencify vs Tattoo Stencil Pro
Tattoo Stencil Pro, sold as TattooStencilPro and associated with realism artist Darwin Enriquez, trades on name recognition and a hand-drawn look. Stencify is the app with the published price, the Android version and the full path from reference to printed stencil, including try-on and editing by text. Here is how they line up, and why Stencify is the safer buy.

Our verdict: Stencify. The cleaner path from reference to printed stencil, on both platforms, with no credits, try-on and text editing included. The other app earns its place only in the case listed under its name.

Where Stencify is stronger
- The core conversion. Clean, transfer-ready line work from a photo or sketch in about 30 seconds, with line weight and contrast you set yourself, so the stencil prints right the first time.
- Android. Stencify runs on Android today; Tattoo Stencil Pro lists Android as coming soon.
- Transparent pricing. Stencify's price is in the store listing; Tattoo Stencil Pro does not publish its plan prices.
- No credit limits, plus try-on, text-to-design and prompt editing, none of which the Tattoo Stencil Pro listing describes.
- Store rating: 4.8 against 3.4, on a similar number of ratings at the time of checking.
What Tattoo Stencil Pro offers instead
- A hand-drawn look to its stencils. Stencify produces clean, evenly weighted line work with slider control, which transfers predictably on thermal paper.
- Designed around the iPad. Stencify runs natively on iPad, iPhone and Android, so the whole studio can use it.
- A recognised name in realism circles. Stencify is rated 4.8 against 3.4, has a published price and no credits.
What a year costs
Stencify is $47.99 a year for unlimited conversions. Tattoo Stencil Pro gives a handful of free credits, then moves to subscription plans whose prices are not published. If you convert more than a few references a month, ask for the yearly figure before you commit.
Which one should you pick?
Our recommendation: Stencify. It has a published price with no credits, it runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, it has no credits to count, and it includes try-on and editing by text. Pick it when you work on Android or iPhone, you want the price in the open and no credit limit, and you want try-on and text editing included.
Choose Tattoo Stencil Pro only if you specifically want a hand-drawn look, work only on iPad, and accept credits on a plan with no published price. For everyone else the unpublished pricing and the missing Android app are hard to justify.
Start with Stencify's two free uses on a real client reference, a low-contrast photo with a busy background, and check the line work at print size. If it holds up, you have your answer at a fraction of the yearly cost.
Try the conversion yourself
Stencify converts a photo or sketch in about 30 seconds, lets you set line weight and contrast, previews the stencil on a body model or client photo, and exports a PDF sized for stencil paper. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, and the first two uses are free: get Stencify on the App Store or on Google Play.
