Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TechDraw min at 4.2 against MathPad's 1.8. TechDraw min also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). MathPad's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TechDraw min holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of MathPad's written reviews are positive against 11% of TechDraw min's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MathPad ships an update every 6 weeks, TechDraw min every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
