# Drafts vs Watchsmith

The clearest difference is rating: Drafts at 4.8 against Watchsmith's 3.9. Drafts also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 38%) and ratings volume (11K vs 563). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drafts sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Watchsmith sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Drafts holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drafts has 11K ratings behind it against 563, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Drafts's written reviews are positive against 38% of Watchsmith's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
