# Forma3D vs 3D Paint

The clearest difference is rating: 3D Paint at 5.0 against Forma3D's 4.4. Forma3D's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Forma3D sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and 3D Paint sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

3D Paint holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forma3D has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
