Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: DrawPlan at Free against Feather's $14.99. DrawPlan also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and device support (3 vs 1). Feather's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (115 vs 4). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Feather holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Feather has 115 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Feather's written reviews are positive against 100% of DrawPlan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
