Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Gartic.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gartic.io has 5.2K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Gartic.io's written reviews are positive against 65% of Drawing game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gartic.io ships an update every 2 weeks, Drawing game every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
