Verdict

The call

OilPaintPlus and iCPainter both sit at 3.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of OilPaintPlus's written reviews are positive against 22% of iCPainter's. OilPaintPlus also leads on price (Free vs $1.99). iCPainter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (14 vs 3). On rating, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
