Primed is the all-in-one companion for tabletop miniature painters ā track every paint you own, plan your projects, save your recipes, and finally clear that backlog. Your paint rack, organized. Log what you own, what's running low, and what's on your wishlist. Search by brand, finish, or color, and tap any color to find cross-brand equivalents so you can paint with what you already have ā and never buy a duplicate again. Beat the Pile of Shame.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PGMNT at none against Primed's shown. PGMNT also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
