Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pottery.ly 3D at Free against Paint's $1.99. Pottery.ly 3D also leads on rating (4.3 vs 1.0) and update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months). Paint's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Pottery.ly 3D is free to download; Paint costs $1.99 up front. Pottery.ly 3D sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days. Paint asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pottery.ly 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pottery.ly 3D has 2.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Paint's written reviews are positive against 69% of Pottery.ly 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Paint ships an update every 10 months, Pottery.ly 3D monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
