# Ping.io vs Perfect Paint

The clearest difference is ads: Ping.io at none against Perfect Paint's shown. Ping.io also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (45% vs 23%). Perfect Paint's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 5.8K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ping.io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Perfect Paint sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Ping.io against 4.5 for Perfect Paint. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Perfect Paint has 36K ratings behind it against 5.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 45% of Ping.io's written reviews are positive against 23% of Perfect Paint's.

Ping.io ships an update fortnightly, Perfect Paint every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
