Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Code Drawer at $1.99 against Griddy Pro's $19.99. Code Drawer also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 48%) and ads (none vs shown). Griddy Pro's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (126 vs 24). On in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Griddy Pro costs $19.99 and Code Drawer $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Griddy Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Griddy Pro has 126 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Griddy Pro's written reviews are positive against 83% of Code Drawer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Griddy Pro ships an update every 4 months, Code Drawer monthly. Both last shipped on October 2, 2026.
