# Livetopia vs Drawing Playground

The clearest difference is rating: Livetopia at 4.7 against Drawing Playground's 2.0. Livetopia also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 1). Drawing Playground's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Livetopia sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Drawing Playground asks for nothing beyond the download.

Livetopia holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Livetopia has 12K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Livetopia's written reviews are positive against 100% of Drawing Playground's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Livetopia ships an update monthly, Drawing Playground every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
