# Zbrush vs Sample

The clearest difference is rating: Sample at 5.0 against Zbrush's 4.1. Zbrush's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (245 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zbrush sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Sample sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sample holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zbrush has 245 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Zbrush ships an update monthly, Sample every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
