Verdict
Panda Bridge and Painty Drift both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Panda Bridge's written reviews are positive against 50% of Painty Drift's. Panda Bridge also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Painty Drift's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 32 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Painty Drift sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Panda Bridge asks for nothing beyond the download.
Painty Drift holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Painty Drift has 37 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Panda Bridge's written reviews are positive against 50% of Painty Drift's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Panda Bridge ships an update every 32 months, Painty Drift every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
