# Draw N Guess Multiplayer vs Gartic.io

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gartic.io at none against Draw N Guess Multiplayer's 11. Gartic.io also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Draw N Guess Multiplayer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Gartic.io asks for nothing beyond the download.

Gartic.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7.5K and 5.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Draw N Guess Multiplayer's written reviews are positive against 42% of Gartic.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
