Verdict
Draw and HDHomeRun both sit at 2.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Draw's written reviews are positive against 27% of HDHomeRun's. HDHomeRun's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 89 months). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
