Painnt from Moonlighting has the largest documented library on this list, with more than 2,000 filters that run from classical art in the style of Van Gogh or Picasso to cartoon sketches. Its standout option is custom styles: you can turn any image, painting or photograph into your own filter and share it with other members of the community. The listing is upfront about the free tier: it limits output resolution and adds a watermark. Premium adds the full library, HD processing, custom styles and watermark removal, and it is the cheapest upgrade here, at $0.99 a week, $1.99 a month or $9.99 a year on the US App Store. That makes Painnt the best value if you are happy to pay a little. The weaker point is reception, with a 4.3 rating from 691 US ratings, lower than the leaders. The app is rated 4+ and supports 24 languages.
