# Perspective vs Drafts

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Perspective at none against Drafts's 3. Perspective also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). Drafts's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (11K vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drafts sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Perspective asks for nothing beyond the download.

Perspective holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drafts has 11K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Perspective's written reviews are positive against 70% of Drafts's.

Perspective ships an update every 5 weeks, Drafts every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
