# Doodle God™ HD vs Pasta Machine

Doodle God™ HD and Pasta Machine both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 62% of Doodle God™ HD's written reviews are positive against 16% of Pasta Machine's. Pasta Machine's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Pasta Machine is free to download; Doodle God™ HD costs $2.99 up front. Doodle God™ HD sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Pasta Machine sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Doodle God™ HD against 4.6 for Pasta Machine. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pasta Machine has 8.8K ratings behind it against 180, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of Doodle God™ HD's written reviews are positive against 16% of Pasta Machine's.

Doodle God™ HD ships an update every 2 months, Pasta Machine fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
