The best alternatives to Splat
Splat might not be the right fit: the price, a missing feature or a payment model you don't like. These are the closest alternatives in our catalog, ordered by rating, with the full review of each one.
Why look for a Splat alternative
First sweep of Splat. The Lone Palm Labs app has been alive for close to a year (launched 27 October 2025) and keeps shipping regular updates, the latest one on 10 August 2026 adding a default printer setting, exactly the "get a page ready to print" function this segment's question asks for. It generates clean line art from a photo or pulls from its own library of 300-plus themed pages. The free trial is a single page, not a permanent free tier, and from there on you pay either by subscription or by standalone page bundle. Its Android rating, on a small sample, sits well below its iOS score.
What its own users repeat in the August 16, 2026 sweep:
- The free trial is a single page confirmed by two independent press pieces, not a permanent free tier: from the second page onward you pay (strong theme)
- The "Lifetime (Special Discount)" SKU at $19.99 sits alongside the actual rack-rate SKU "Splat+ Lifetime" at $49.99, and only the latter is the list price (strong theme)
- Its Google Play rating, with only 17 reviews and 3.7 out of 5, is notably worse than the App Store's (4.71 out of 172), still too small a sample to fully trust (present theme)

What the internet says about each alternative
Colorpop 3.9/5 · From $5
The listing keeps moving almost every week: iOS shipped version 2.64.05 six days before this sweep with a new themed pack, thirteen Odyssey-style templates, and Apple still holds 4.8 across 742K ratings. The in-app purchase list confirms the real price runs from $3.99 a week on limited-time offers up to $69.99 for the top pass, a range that neither the official site nor the $5 reference price capture. Watching an ad to unlock a colour remains the complaint that repeats most.
Where it wins: The sheet is generated and coloured inside the same app, with brushes, textures and effects, which is what makes it playable for a child Where it slips: You have to watch an ad video before drawings, colour packs and tools become available, and ads pop up while colouring
ColorBliss 3.8/5 · Free trial · from $9
ColorBliss remains the only tool in its segment built for printing and for selling, and this week brings no dated fact that moves any of the five axes: its own changelog has added no new entry since 8 July 2026, the latest one published. The literal monthly price of the Starter plan is still 9 dollars, reconfirmed today in the HTML's «data-monthly» attributes and in the page's JSON-LD, which declares the «Starter» offer at «9» dollars and a «Free Trial» offer at 0. The «$7 per month» figure shown on landing is the annual price divided by twelve, not what is billed month to month. It remains a one-person product, and the complaint that repeats most in open reviews is still the credit system.
Where it wins: Output built for actual paper, PNG or PDF at 300 dots per inch, which is what separates a printable sheet from a screen image Where it slips: Everything runs on credits and that is the complaint that repeats most in open reviews: anyone wanting to generate without counting asks for a flat fee that does not exist
