# Flatter Files vs DrawPlan

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flatter Files at 50% against DrawPlan's 13%. DrawPlan's advantage is rating (3.5 vs 3.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flatter Files sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DrawPlan sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DrawPlan holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DrawPlan has 5.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Flatter Files's written reviews are positive against 13% of DrawPlan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flatter Files ships an update every 2 months, DrawPlan weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
