Picasso Pro costs $29.99 and Magic Joker 2 $17.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Picasso Pro holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Picasso Pro has 28 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Picasso Pro's written reviews are positive against 67% of Magic Joker 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Picasso Pro ships an update every 2 weeks, Magic Joker 2 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
