# Overpaint vs Four Plus

The clearest difference is rating: Four Plus at 4.7 against Overpaint's 3.8. Four Plus also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 133) and review sentiment (82% vs 62%). Overpaint's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Overpaint sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Four Plus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Four Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Four Plus has 20K ratings behind it against 133, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Overpaint's written reviews are positive against 82% of Four Plus's.

Overpaint ships an update every 5 weeks, Four Plus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
