Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Artlist at 76% against Art Study's 33%. Artlist also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). Art Study's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
