Easy Pose AE was developed for these people. Various angles of different poses can be inspected. Now you do not have to draw with a wooden joint doll or figure as a model. Even yoga or exercise poses can be checked from various angles. 1. Sensitive Operation – Easy Pose AE allows control over the main joints in an amazingly smooth manner. It provides multiple functions previously unavailable in other pose apps such as a highlight on movable parts, initialization of joints and manipulation state, and finding a symmetrical pose with the mirroring function. Experience controls that are more convenient than with a mouse. 2. Comic Style Models – Previous pose apps had many realistic eight-head ratio men and women, making it unsuitable for animation, webtoon or game illustrations. Easy Pose AE is prepared with models with various body types. 3. Multi-Model Control – A scene can be made with a made with a maximum of 10 people at once! It is now possible to make a scene of a soccer player avoiding a tackle or a couple holding hands and dancing. 4. Thousands of poses that have already been completed. Poses that are used often are already made. 5. Other Characteristics - Sensitive light expression using direct and backlight settings - Able to observe various poses at various angles - Realistic shadows such as shadows of models being cast over other models - Able to change the angle of view (possible to use an exaggerated vanishing point such as a panorama) - Provides a wire mode that allows lines drawn over models - Able to download models without the background in a PNG clear background. - Automatic saving, making it safe whenever there is a device error. - Able to easily control hand movements. 6. Differences from the existing version of Easy Pose. - You can use the PRO version and all DLC. - In addition to humanoid models, horses, cars, musical instruments, Eastern and Western weapons, dragons, guns, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. are provided. - It does not link with existing Easy Pose purchase data. ** Since the data is not saved to server, when you delete an app, the saved data is also deleted.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Easy Pose at none against ibis Paint's 7. Easy Pose also leads on price ($14.99 vs $15.99) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). ibis Paint's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 4) and chart position (#5 vs #158). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ibis Paint holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ibis Paint has 4.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of ibis Paint's written reviews are positive against 90% of Easy Pose's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ibis Paint ships an update monthly, Easy Pose every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
