# Draw Something vs Stickman

The clearest difference is rating: Draw Something at 5.0 against Stickman's 3.9. Draw Something also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). Stickman's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (253 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Draw Something sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stickman sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Draw Something holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stickman has 253 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Draw Something's written reviews are positive against 40% of Stickman's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Draw Something ships an update every 6 months, Stickman every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
