Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Eclipse E at none against Paint Warhammer's shown. Eclipse E also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Paint Warhammer's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 25%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
