Reviews say that ArtRage offers a more traditional painting experience with its realistic brush dynamics, which many users appreciate for replicating the feel of physical painting. In contrast, Procreate is praised for its intuitive interface and advanced features like the QuickShape tool, which allows for precise shapes and lines.
Users report that ArtRage's layering system is straightforward but lacks some advanced features found in Procreate, such as the ability to create and manage multiple layer groups, which Procreate users find enhances their workflow significantly.
Reviewers mention that while ArtRage has a solid set of tools for texture painting, Procreate shines with its extensive brush library and customization options, allowing users to create unique brushes tailored to their specific artistic needs.
G2 users highlight that ArtRage's support quality is decent, but Procreate's support is often noted as superior, with users appreciating the wealth of tutorials and community resources available for troubleshooting and learning.
Users on G2 indicate that ArtRage's price point of US$79 is seen as reasonable for its features, but many feel that Procreate's one-time purchase price offers better value given its extensive feature set and regular updates.
Reviewers mention that while both products cater to small businesses, Procreate's mobile capabilities and seamless integration with the iPad make it a preferred choice for artists on the go, whereas ArtRage is often favored by those who prefer a desktop experience.
