Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: House Design at 69% against DrawPlan's 13%. House Design also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 9). DrawPlan's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
