Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Griddy Pro ships an update every 4 months, Code Drawer monthly. Both last shipped on October 2, 2026.
