# Tools for Procreate vs AmberDraw

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AmberDraw at 68% against Tools for Procreate's 24%. Tools for Procreate's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 314) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tools for Procreate sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and AmberDraw sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tools for Procreate holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tools for Procreate has 16K ratings behind it against 314, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Tools for Procreate's written reviews are positive against 68% of AmberDraw's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tools for Procreate ships an update weekly, AmberDraw fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
