Fine Artist vs Happy Color

Fine Artist is a pixel art coloring app for Android and iOS. In numbered mode, users choose a palette color and apply it to cells with the matching number; they can swipe across matching cells to color faster. Color Splash fills the area around a selected cell, while Magic Wand colors neighboring cells with the same number. Completed artworks can be shared with friends and family. The app also has a free drawing mode described in its App Store listing, with custom colors, a brush, and a paint bucket, without numbered cells. It can record a drawing for sharing as a video. Fine Artist is free to download and play, with an optional Pro subscription for unlimited access. Listed one-time purchases are No Ads Forever for 0.99 USD once, Full Access for 1.99 USD once, Pro Access for 19.99 USD once, Premium Version for 34.99 USD once, and Lifetime Premium for 39.99 USD once; Apple lists multiple Pro Access prices. On iPhone and iPod touch it requires iOS 15.0 or later, and on iPad it requires iPadOS 15.0 or later.

Happy Color is a numbered coloring experience built around hand-drawn artwork. The maker says its library contains over 50,000 pictures from artists around the world, with categories including Disney, mandalas, mystery pictures, postcards, pixel art, flowers, nature, places, animals, and art. A search tool helps locate pictures by topics such as hobbies and interests. The digital coloring content is free of charge. Happy Color is listed for Android, iOS, and the web, while the FAQ specifies smartphone and tablet support and excludes laptops and desktop computers. Pictures in My Feed can be colored without internet, but full offline mode and every feature are unavailable. Progress can sync across devices after signing in with Facebook, Google, or Apple ID; only completed pictures transfer. Remove Ads costs $7.99, paid once. Premium options are $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year in the US App Store.
