# Clip Studio Paint for iPhone vs MyPattern

The clearest difference is rating: Clip Studio Paint for iPhone at 4.4 against MyPattern's 2.3. Clip Studio Paint for iPhone also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 3). MyPattern's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 36%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clip Studio Paint for iPhone sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and MyPattern sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clip Studio Paint for iPhone holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clip Studio Paint for iPhone has 1.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Clip Studio Paint for iPhone's written reviews are positive against 50% of MyPattern's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Clip Studio Paint for iPhone ships an update every 3 weeks, MyPattern every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
