# DrawBuddy vs Screenshot Editor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Screenshot Editor at 100% against DrawBuddy's 19%. Screenshot Editor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and monetization model (freemium vs subscription). DrawBuddy's advantage is ratings volume (483 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DrawBuddy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Screenshot Editor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screenshot Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DrawBuddy has 483 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
