Both are free to download. HandwritingAI sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Profe asks for nothing beyond the download.
Profe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HandwritingAI has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
