The clearest difference is monetization model: Tools for Procreate at free with in-app purchases against Prêt à Makeup's subscription. Tools for Procreate also leads on ads (none vs shown). Prêt à Makeup's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 24%) and chart position (#89 vs unranked). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prêt à Makeup sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Tools for Procreate sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Prêt à Makeup's written reviews are positive against 24% of Tools for Procreate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
