Filara

Filara is embroidery made with code. I write programs that draw a design one stitch at a time, and each design they come up with is sold once. Buy a piece and it gets stitched in thread on fabric and mailed to you. After that it's off the app for everyone else. There are five series right now: a garden sampler, landforms seen from above, a koi pond, birds, and one called Misprint, where two of the others burn through each other. Each shows 30 pieces at a time. Tap New and you get a different 30. Tap any piece to see it full screen and zoom in as far as you like. There's also a Physical view, which shows roughly how the piece will come out once it's down to the threads the machine uses. Tap a piece's title for the details: its palette, how many thread colors, how many stitches. The biggest ones pass 60,000. A piece is $100 and US shipping is included. They're made to order, so allow 1 to 2 months before yours ships. You don't need an account. Checkout goes through Stripe, and afterwards the app shows where your piece is, from order received to shipped. Right now every sale goes toward an embroidery machine of my own, so I can stitch the pieces myself instead of sending them out. The Journey page in the app shows how close that is.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Filara at none against Processing IDE's 3. Filara also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 weeks). Processing IDE's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
