PicMonkey vs. Stencil

Some of the ways that Stencil and PicMonkey are different.

Stencil is leaner, meaner and cleaner PicMonkey alternative.

PicMonkey does a lot of things fairly well. So many things, in fact, that all the options begin to get overwhelming. Stencil is designed to be faster, easier and more user-friendly. Here's some reasons you may want to consider Stencil:

Stencil is lightening fast!

If you've tried PicMonkey, you'll know that it has a wide range of features. But with Stencil, we've gone out of our way to simplify the options so that you don't get bogged down.

In 2024, you shouldn't have to spend huge amounts of time focused on image creation, so we designed it to be ultra fast (so you can focus on other tough parts of your business). Oh yeah, we also have add-ons for Chrome, Firefox and WordPress so you can create images from wherever you are.

Customer support is our calling!

Some other feedback we've heard from PicMonkey users is that it can be tough getting in touch with their customer support, ask questions, and offer feedback.

We take great pride in offering the best customer service and helping our customers succeed. We've had personal phone calls with hundreds of users and love learning how we can make Stencil better.

We love to support Stencil, and we're always here to help!

Schedule with Buffer

Stencil helps you automate your visual posts.

While PicMonkey offers many advanced features, something lacking is the ability to quickly and easily schedule your images for sharing on social media.

We've partnered with Buffer to add two-click-scheduling, directly from Stencil.

Once you're logged into your Buffer account, you can schedule images to be posted in a couple of clicks, right from within Stencil.
