# Blackboard vs PaintSaur

The clearest difference is rating: PaintSaur at 5.0 against Blackboard's 4.5. PaintSaur also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Blackboard's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

PaintSaur holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blackboard has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
