Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OrigamiDraw at none against Origami Master's 2. OrigamiDraw also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (82% vs 65%). Origami Master's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 12) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Origami Master sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. OrigamiDraw asks for nothing beyond the download.
Origami Master holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Origami Master has 2K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of OrigamiDraw's written reviews are positive against 65% of Origami Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OrigamiDraw ships an update every 7 months, Origami Master every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
