# Roughups vs Brushes for Procreate

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Roughups at 100% against Brushes for Procreate's 48%. Roughups also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Brushes for Procreate's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (20K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roughups sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Brushes for Procreate sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brushes for Procreate holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brushes for Procreate has 20K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Roughups's written reviews are positive against 48% of Brushes for Procreate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roughups ships an update every 2 days, Brushes for Procreate every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
