# Paint vs hyp

The clearest difference is review sentiment: hyp at 88% against Paint's 24%. hyp also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). Paint's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Paint is free to download; hyp costs $0.99 up front. Paint sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. hyp asks for nothing beyond the download.

Paint holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: hyp has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Paint's written reviews are positive against 88% of hyp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Paint ships an update every 7 months, hyp every 70 months. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
