Mandalica is free to download; Spiral Painter costs $3.99 up front. Spiral Painter sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Mandalica asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mandalica holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spiral Painter has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Spiral Painter's written reviews are positive against 50% of Mandalica's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spiral Painter ships an update every 6 months, Mandalica every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
