Both are free to download. Color Notepad sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Scrawler I asks for nothing beyond the download.
Color Notepad holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Notepad has 606 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Scrawler I's written reviews are positive against 47% of Color Notepad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
