Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OrigamiDraw ships an update every 7 months, Origami Master every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
