# Draw for iPad vs Hexbee

The clearest difference is rating: Hexbee at 3.8 against Draw for iPad's 3.0. Hexbee also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Draw for iPad's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 13). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hexbee sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Draw for iPad asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hexbee holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Draw for iPad has 2.1K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Draw for iPad's written reviews are positive against 69% of Hexbee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
