Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Dirt Draft at every 4 days against The Cushion's every 2 months. Dirt Draft also leads on rating (3.7 vs 3.5). The Cushion's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 52%) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dirt Draft sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and The Cushion sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $37.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dirt Draft holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 58 and 24 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Dirt Draft's written reviews are positive against 70% of The Cushion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dirt Draft ships an update every 4 days, The Cushion every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
