InColor vs pau.

InColor is a coloring and drawing app with ready-made pages, image transformations and a blank-canvas mode for original artwork. It can turn photos into line art, transform doodles and text-based coloring ideas, and generate black-and-white sketches from entered keywords with its AI coloring-book generator. The gallery contains thousands of curated illustrations, with new styles added daily. Painting tools include brushes, gradients and detail controls. Users can share artwork, connect with creators and take part in weekly themed challenges. InColor is available on Android, iOS and macOS. Its free plan offers a selection of patterns and features with ads. Premium access unlocks content and removes ads; listed options include $15.99 a month, $29.99 a year, $39.99, paid once and $59.99 a year. Some weekly, monthly and yearly subscription options include a 3-day free trial. The terms say user content is not guaranteed to be backed up and may be deleted at any time.

pau. is a minimalist adult coloring app for iPad, with hand-drawn pages, freeform coloring, and optional Apple Pencil support. Its free plan provides Fill, Soft Round, Fineliner, Marker, undo and redo, stroke adjustments, an eyedropper, and recent colors. Premium adds watercolor, oil, gouache, pastel, and chalk brushes, plus Smudge. It also unlocks reusable custom palettes, palettes made from photos, the full page library, and exports without the pau. mark. The maker says about four new hand-drawn pages arrive each Friday. Progress saves automatically on the iPad, and downloaded pages remain usable offline. Finished images and automatic time-lapse videos can be saved. The maker says there are no accounts, ads, or cross-app tracking; its policy describes pseudonymous events through TelemetryDeck and diagnostics through Sentry. An eligible non-subscriber can preview Premium brushes and Smudge once for 72 hours. The app requires iPadOS 18.6 or later.
