# JustSketchMe vs MyPattern

The clearest difference is rating: JustSketchMe at 3.6 against MyPattern's 2.3. JustSketchMe also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (169 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JustSketchMe sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and MyPattern sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

JustSketchMe holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JustSketchMe has 169 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of JustSketchMe's written reviews are positive against 50% of MyPattern's.

JustSketchMe ships an update fortnightly, MyPattern every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
