# Themelia vs Drawing lab

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Drawing lab at none against Themelia's 10. Drawing lab also leads on ads (none vs shown). Themelia's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#30 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Themelia sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Drawing lab asks for nothing beyond the download.

Themelia ships an update every 3 weeks, Drawing lab every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
