# DailyArt vs Sophia

The clearest difference is ads: Sophia at none against DailyArt's shown. Sophia also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). DailyArt's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 154) and review sentiment (86% vs 70%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DailyArt sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Sophia sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for DailyArt against 4.7 for Sophia. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DailyArt has 38K ratings behind it against 154, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of DailyArt's written reviews are positive against 70% of Sophia's.

DailyArt ships an update every 3 weeks, Sophia every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
