ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Draw Pad Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Draw Pad Pro has 159 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Draw Pad Pro's written reviews are positive against 43% of Swivl Capture's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Draw Pad Pro ships an update every 2 months, Swivl Capture every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
