# Paint.Ms vs Doodraw

The clearest difference is rating: Doodraw at 4.0 against Paint.Ms's 2.8. Doodraw also leads on ratings volume (73 vs 5) and review sentiment (43% vs 30%). Paint.Ms's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paint.Ms sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Doodraw sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
