| Title | License | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Medibang Paint | No Limits | Adware |
| Paint Tool SAI | Seems to be Per User | The FAQ says you can install it on a new Computer without acquiring a new license but it doesn't state whether you can install it on more than one computer. |
| Artrage | Per User | |
| Clip Studio Paint | Per User | Two computers used by the same user but not at the same time. Can be Windows and/or Mac OS but not iPad version. If you buy a new computer you can use the same serial number but again only two computers can be active at the same time and must only be used by the same user |
| Paintstorm Studio | Per Computer | With a discount for 2 licenses at time of purchase. |
| Sketchbook | Seems to be Per User | |
| Concepts | Per User | |
| Sketchable | Per Computer | |
| Leonardo | Unclear as software is still Beta | |
| Krita | No Limits | Open Source |
| Drawpile | No Limits |
- Per Computer: You need to purchase a license for each computer
- Per User: You can install the license on a reasonable amount of computers provided you are the only one using the software
- No Limits: Install it on as many computers as you like without restriction. Generally applies to Open Source software.
- Medibang Paint: Adware with no Paid version
- Sketchable: The free version is too limited, see reviews on Microsoft store for context. The premium, one time purchase, seems to be $30.
Note: Leonardo and Sketchable are generally designed for the Surface tablet but have support for traditional graphics tablets.
Thanks! you should also list Weylus as a free open-source option though it doesn't provide stylus pressure on windows and mac.
