Both are free to download. Overpaint sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Placid Place asks for nothing beyond the download.
Overpaint holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Overpaint has 133 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Overpaint's written reviews are positive against 80% of Placid Place's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Overpaint ships an update every 5 weeks, Placid Place every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
