Most of the apps on test here are in the ‘very affordable’ category. Adobe Illustrator is an outlier in having a hefty subscription price which counts against it despite its obvious talents and Adobe Suite integration. Artstudio Pro is a very decent allrounder, putting a friendly interface on an app that works almost as well with photos as with painting.
