Both are free to download. Overpaint sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and The Unic sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Unic holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 133 and 44 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Overpaint's written reviews are positive against 36% of The Unic'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, The Unic every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
