Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Brushstroke at 4.8 against Artify's 4.1. Brushstroke also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (14K vs 14). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Brushstroke sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Artify sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Brushstroke holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brushstroke has 14K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Brushstroke's written reviews are positive against 82% of Artify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Brushstroke ships an update monthly, Artify every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
