User Testimonials
	BioRender	Procreate
Likelihood to Recommend	BioRender No answers on this topic	Savage Interactive We are using Procreate less and less as Adobe tools catch up with more iPad applications and sketching styles, but Procreate is still superior in flexibility and online tutorials. We are using other, more formal tools more, just because the changing nature of work is less illustrative. Incentivized Amy Highland Head of Operations Read full review

Alternatives Considered	BioRender No answers on this topic	Savage Interactive We broadly use the Adobe suite for other applications, so as Adobe tools have advanced, it is difficult to have an outlier in the toolkit, but Procreate still offers a lot of ease of use and competes with more formal Illustrator tools. We use Illustrator a lot for general design work once they pass initial concepting. Incentivized Amy Highland Head of Operations Read full review
