Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Duck at 83% against STEAM DRAW's 15%. Duck also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.5). STEAM DRAW's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 172) and iOS requirement (3.1.3 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
