BrushProcreate vs MyPaint Brushes

BrushProcreate is a digital shop selling brush sets and related assets for the Procreate application. Its catalog lists more than 45 sets and over 2,500 individual brushes, including watercolor, embroidery, floral and material designs, plus stamps, patterns and textures. Brushes support Procreate 5X and later on iPad and arrive as downloadable.brushset files for one-tap import. After payment, buyers receive a link on the order page and by email, with re-downloads remaining available. Individual brush sets cost $2.99 as a one-time purchase, and the 1,460-brush bundle with 20 texture canvases costs $9.99, paid once. Buyers choose Personal, Commercial or Extended Commercial licensing at checkout. Personal covers non-commercial work; Commercial covers client work and products; Extended Commercial permits unlimited end products and resale of derivative works. Original brush-file redistribution is prohibited.

MyPaint Brushes is a free downloadable brush-data package for MyPaint and other applications that use libmypaint. The master branch contains brushes intended for libmypaint 2.x. For libmypaint versions below 1.5, the project recommends using the v1.3.x branch or a v1.x release instead; listed releases include v1.3.1 for libmypaint 1.3 or later and v2.0.2 for libmypaint 1.5 or later. The brush files use the .myb format, and commercial use is permitted. Application developers can locate the brush directory through pkg-config: C and C++ programs use the MYPAINT_BRUSHES_DIR macro, while other languages can use the brushesdir variable. Building and installing the package uses autogen.sh, configure, make, and make install. Historical SCons scripts are included for SCons 2.x, but do not work with SCons 3. The official brush data uses public domain or CC0 1.0 licensing. Installation scripts and other non-brush-data components use GPL-2+ licensing. The v2.0.2 release note says its changes reduce preview icon file sizes and that v2.0.x brushes generally need libmypaint 1.5 or later to work correctly.
