Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: StoryBrook at 100% against Paintist Plus's 17%. StoryBrook also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). Paintist Plus's advantage is ratings volume (700 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
