# Paint Paper Studio vs Phont

The clearest difference is rating: Phont at 4.0 against Paint Paper Studio's 2.5. Phont also leads on ratings volume (39 vs 6). Paint Paper Studio's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 43%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paint Paper Studio sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Phont sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Phont holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phont has 39 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Paint Paper Studio's written reviews are positive against 43% of Phont's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
