Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Paint Retro at 5.0 against Prisma3D's 3.4. Paint Retro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Prisma3D's advantage is ratings volume (910 vs 1) and review sentiment (52% vs 32%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paint Retro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Prisma3D sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Paint Retro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prisma3D has 910 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Paint Retro's written reviews are positive against 52% of Prisma3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Paint Retro ships an update every 8 days, Prisma3D every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
