Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Draft Paper at none against Home Design 3D's shown. Draft Paper also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and review sentiment (51% vs 43%). Home Design 3D's advantage is ratings volume (105K vs 16K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Home Design 3D sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Draft Paper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Home Design 3D against 4.4 for Draft Paper. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Design 3D has 105K ratings behind it against 16K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of Home Design 3D's written reviews are positive against 51% of Draft Paper's.
Home Design 3D ships an update monthly, Draft Paper every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
