Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Doodle Magic at 4.7 against Paint World's 2.3. Doodle Magic also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Paint World's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doodle Magic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Paint World asks for nothing beyond the download.
Doodle Magic holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doodle Magic has 12K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Doodle Magic's written reviews are positive against 95% of Paint World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Doodle Magic ships an update monthly, Paint World every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
