# Wax vs 3D Paint

Wax and 3D Paint are too close to call on the numbers: across 7 compared parameters — price, rating, ratings volume and ads among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. Wax sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 3D Paint sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Wax against 5.0 for 3D Paint. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively.
