A little color. A whole new world. Doodle is a drawing app for everyday imagination. Pick a tool, choose a color, and make a mark. A blank canvas can become a small world, a useful idea, or a few minutes of play. MAKE SOMETHING YOURS Draw a colorful scene. Sketch a chart to explain a thought. Draw a tic-tac-toe board and take turns making marks. Map a request and its reply. Practice a letter until it feels like your own. These are things you can draw, with room for your own ideas in between. KEEP IT SIMPLE Choose drawing tools and colors, undo a mark, and share an image of your work. On compatible iPad models, draw with touch or Apple Pencil. No account is required to start drawing. A CANVAS FOR YOUR DEVICE Draw on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. Each brings its own controls to the same simple idea: a place to draw. On Apple Vision Pro, Doodle is a two-dimensional canvas in an app window. A LITTLE MORE WITH DOODLE PRO An optional Doodle Pro subscription lets you save and reopen editable drawings, ask for confirmation before clearing, hide the tool picker, and choose your preferred light or dark appearance. App icon choices are also available on supported devices. Drawing and image sharing do not require a Pro subscription. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. The price and any eligible offer are shown before you subscribe. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. One mark is a good place to start. Privacy Policy: https://doodle.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://doodle.app/terms

A full-featured drawing app built for precision and flexibility. Switch between freehand sketching and a pixel-perfect grid mode for detailed, block-based artwork. Use multiple brush types including pencil, brush, marker, and an eraser with smooth circular precision. Adjust stroke size up to 100 for fine lines or bold strokes, and work fluidly with zoom and pan support. Designed for both quick sketches and structured pixel art, all in one streamlined canvas.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CoconutBoard at none against Doodle's 4. CoconutBoard also leads on iOS requirement (18.1 vs 26.0). Doodle's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
