ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AmberPaint holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AmberPaint has 137 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Paint.Ms'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

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
