Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DrawnTogether at 82% against AmberPaint's 25%. DrawnTogether also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17). AmberPaint's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DrawnTogether sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and AmberPaint sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AmberPaint holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AmberPaint has 137 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of DrawnTogether's written reviews are positive against 25% of AmberPaint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DrawnTogether ships an update every 5 months, AmberPaint every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
