Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Coloring Book at none against DrawPad's 1. Coloring Book also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). DrawPad's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
