Experience New Ways To Draw on Your Phone Making sketches on a phone without a stylus can be a hassle, with precise drawings being almost impossible. Draw XP aims to change this by trying out unique new ideas to draw on a phone. These ideas include cursors, using multiple fingers to draw, or even a gyroscope. Some of these ideas work, others don't - the aim is to learn and to use these learnings to arrive at great new ways to draw on a phone at the end of this journey. Be Part of the Experiment By using Draw XP, you get two things: first, you get to try out unique new ways to draw on your phone. These new ways may be fun, or they may lead you to think anew about what you can do with your phone. Secondly, you get access to some seriously useful drawing modes that offer finger-based drawing on a level not possible with other apps. Create Precise Sketches on Your Phone Without a Stylus: Trackpad Mode and Cursor Finger Mode Ever wanted to quickly make a sketch to explain something or to remember a brilliant idea on the go? Then Draw XP's "Trackpad" and "Cursor Finger" modes are for you. With these modes you can draw more precise than ever before via a cursor preview that's placed above your draw finger. These modes may take a bit of time to get used to, but once you've understood it, you'll be able to create drawings and sketches right from your phone like never before. --- Terms of Use: http://drawxp.viewout.net/terms-and-conditions.htm

The clearest difference is ads: Graph Paper Pro at none against Draw XP's shown. Graph Paper Pro also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Draw XP's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
