Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: DraughtPick at Free against Find Craft Beer's $0.99. DraughtPick also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). Find Craft Beer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Find Craft Beer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find Craft Beer has 638 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Find Craft Beer's written reviews are positive against 80% of DraughtPick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Find Craft Beer ships an update every 3 months, DraughtPick every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
