Send doodles, drawings, messages, and more directly to your friends’ widgets! Whiteboard makes staying connected fun and creative. Share quick sketches, notes, photos, and even group messages that appear right on your friends’ home screens. ------- Drawing Choose from different pen styles, thicknesses, and colors—or create your own custom colors and save them as presets.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GivyApp at none against Whiteboard's 7. GivyApp also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Whiteboard's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
