Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ZHouse at 4.5 against DrawPlan's 3.5. ZHouse also leads on review sentiment (53% vs 13%). DrawPlan's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 93). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZHouse sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and DrawPlan sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
