Verdict

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dudel Draw at none against Concepts's 13. Dudel Draw also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 77%). Concepts's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 551) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
