Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 紫禁城祥瑞PRO at none against Artlist's 1. 紫禁城祥瑞PRO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). Artlist's advantage is ratings volume (165 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
