Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: DrawPlan at Free against DXF Simple Viewer's $2.99. DrawPlan also leads on rating (3.5 vs 2.4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). DXF Simple Viewer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
