Infinite Painter vs Tayasui Sketches

Infinite Painter is a mobile app for painting, drawing, and crafting digital images on Android and iOS. It includes nearly 200 brushes, with options to create and customize brushes, plus layers, shapes, and selection tools. Users can rearrange the interface by docking tools and actions for quick access, and record a painting as a shareable Timelapse. The free version includes three layers at device resolution, built-in brushes and editing, seamless pattern projects, and selected tools. Pro adds HD canvas sizes, more layers, adjustments, live filter layers, layer groups, masks, and more than 40 professional tools. A seven-day free trial is available; afterward, the app remains usable, though some features require a one-time purchase. Projects and assets such as brushes can be exchanged between versions. There is no native desktop version, though the maker notes availability on some Chromebooks and Apple silicon Macs that support mobile apps. Canvas size and layer capacity depend on device resources.

Tayasui Sketches is a digital drawing app for Android, iOS, and macOS, designed to make drawing resemble work on paper. Brushes include pencil, acrylic, watercolor, airbrush, ink, and smudge, with many tools responding to Apple Pencil pressure, speed, orientation, and tilt. The app also offers color mixing, gradients, patterns, canvas rotation, guides, and an iPad sidebar. Pro features add unlimited layers, extra tool variations, an extended brush editor, wet watercolor, palettes, and extra rulers. Cloud Sync backs up drawings to iCloud and synchronizes them between devices; the FAQ says this sync cannot be disabled. Pro enables PNG and layered PSD export to other apps. On iPad, two apps can be opened together and layers or documents dragged between them. The free version costs nothing; Pro is a separate one-time purchase with no listed price. Each platform version requires a separate purchase, and drawings cannot sync across versions.
