Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: You Doodle Plus at 4.7 against Draw's 2.9. You Doodle Plus also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 51%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 months). Draw's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
