Infinite Painter vs Procreate Comments
Positive comment by Guest · May 9, 2020
Infinite Painter can do basically everything that Procreate can. But it's more affordable. It has a large variety of brushes. I think it is a really great alternative.

Positive comment by Guest · Dec 24, 2016
*Full desktop version IS available in ArtRage (and also offers lighter versions for iPad and other tablets, and phones). *Richness of textures: even if printed in flat 2D, gives a sense of thickness of oils and other media, and grain. *Affordable, and no need to renew licence yearly: lifetime full ownership.

i like it a lot and have been using it since i was ten, im twelve now.
Positive comment by Anipe · Apr 22, 2022
Its a good program at its core but it suffers from low performance on low end devices
Positive comment by Guest · Mar 29, 2021
I like Ibis as an alternative because I have an android tablet and Procreate is unsupported. I don't want to get an Ipad because of the great features android comes with.

HiPaint is often considered as "Procreate-clone." While the app lacks some features, it nailed the basic layout and functionalities.
