# Switchy Sides vs Line Paint!

The clearest difference is ads: Switchy Sides at none against Line Paint!'s shown. Switchy Sides also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). Line Paint!'s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 61). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Switchy Sides sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Line Paint! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Line Paint! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Line Paint! has 3.4K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Switchy Sides's written reviews are positive against 36% of Line Paint!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Switchy Sides ships an update every 5 weeks, Line Paint! every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
