# Nova Smash vs Drawmaster

The clearest difference is rating: Drawmaster at 4.6 against Nova Smash's 4.0. Drawmaster also leads on ratings volume (45K vs 4). Nova Smash's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nova Smash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Drawmaster sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Drawmaster holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drawmaster has 45K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Nova Smash ships an update every 3 days, Drawmaster every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
