Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Draw it at none against Tappy Paint's 1. Draw it also leads on iOS requirement (12.2 vs 18.0). Tappy Paint's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
