# Roughups vs Zbrush

The clearest difference is rating: Zbrush at 4.1 against Roughups's 3.0. Zbrush also leads on ratings volume (245 vs 2). Roughups's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). 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 Zbrush sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Zbrush holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zbrush has 245 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 85% of Zbrush'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, Zbrush monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
