Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Stickman at none against Drawing Pad's shown. Stickman also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 30%). Drawing Pad's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Drawing Pad sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stickman sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Drawing Pad holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 198 and 322 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Drawing Pad's written reviews are positive against 40% of Stickman's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Drawing Pad ships an update monthly, Stickman every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
