# Daddy Long Legs vs Paintshot

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Daddy Long Legs at 24K against Paintshot's 16. Daddy Long Legs also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 80%). Paintshot's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daddy Long Legs sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Paintshot sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Paintshot holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daddy Long Legs has 24K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Daddy Long Legs's written reviews are positive against 80% of Paintshot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Daddy Long Legs ships an update monthly, Paintshot weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
