The clearest difference is price: Zolly at Free against Art Tools's $2.99. Zolly also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and review sentiment (100% vs 62%). Art Tools's advantage is ratings volume (253 vs 17) and chart position (#188 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Zolly is free to download; Art Tools costs $2.99 up front. Art Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Zolly sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
