# Coloring Book ► vs Paintist Plus

The clearest difference is rating: Paintist Plus at 4.7 against Coloring Book ►'s 4.0. Paintist Plus also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Coloring Book ►'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (40% vs 17%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Coloring Book ► sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Paintist Plus sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Paintist Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 208 and 700 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Coloring Book ►'s written reviews are positive against 17% of Paintist Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Coloring Book ► ships an update every 2 months, Paintist Plus every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
