- Gets updated regularly. MediBang is free and the full version doesn't cost a fortune. Also has tools like gradients, circles and other forms and a huge variety of brushsets. Guest • Jan 2019 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees
- easy to use and very similar to Fire Alpaca. The main differences are that Medibang has more brushes and options, it has a cloud save, and a dark theme( I personally like dark themes better than light ones) Guest • Aug 2018 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees

- A lot of features that does not have SAI (also SAI 2). Just awesome. Guest • Feb 2018 • 3 agrees and 3 disagrees
- Been using for years for illustrating, and it doesn't take very long to find where the right brushes are. Some of the few things I wish they'd improve is the magic tool and lasso tool though. xladedax • Aug 2017 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees
- I usually use it and I really like the way the lines look like. But now it's a little bit complicated to cope with all the brushes and drawing in digital programs. Guest • Jan 2017 • 5 agrees and 2 disagrees
- it has features sai dosent have Guest • Dec 2016 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees

- Definitely not in any way similar to Paint Tool Sai, there is a lot less tools to work with. Guest • Jun 2017 • 14 agrees and 4 disagrees
- There are multiple layers and pretty good pencils. sixelapixelsprite • Dec 2016 • 4 agrees and 6 disagrees
