# Easy Paint II vs Drawing Apps

The clearest difference is rating: Drawing Apps at 4.4 against Easy Paint II's 3.9. Drawing Apps also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5.2K vs 20). Easy Paint II's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Paint II sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Drawing Apps sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Drawing Apps holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drawing Apps has 5.2K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Easy Paint II's written reviews are positive against 63% of Drawing Apps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Easy Paint II ships an update every 5 months, Drawing Apps monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
