The call

Deckboard PRO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EasyCanvas holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EasyCanvas has 770 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of EasyCanvas's written reviews are positive against 60% of Deckboard PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EasyCanvas ships an update every 6 weeks, Deckboard PRO every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
