# Idle Painter vs wrap

The clearest difference is ads: wrap at none against Idle Painter's shown. wrap also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Idle Painter's advantage is ratings volume (32K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Painter sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and wrap sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

wrap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Painter has 32K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Idle Painter ships an update every 4 months, wrap every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
