ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ArtRabbit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 3 respectively.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ArtRabbit ships an update every 2 months, Mae fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
