# Real vs My paint

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My paint at 40% against Real's 0%. My paint also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (46 vs 3). Real's advantage is iOS requirement (11.3 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Real sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and My paint sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My paint holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My paint has 46 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Real's written reviews are positive against 40% of My paint's.

Real ships an update every 2 months, My paint every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
