Beads in the box, then stitch from the screen. Turn a photo into a bead chart, practice with gallery patterns, tap cells as you place them, and keep inventory by color. Works offline. Free. Your drawings stay on this device. Photo to pattern Pick a photo, crop, and optionally cut out the subject. Defaults are a tonight-sized 48-bead grid and 16 colors so the chart stays easy to buy and stitch. You can still raise the size and color count. Gallery for practice Animals, food, faces, hearts, nature, festivals, and pixel people. Gallery patterns use the in-app planet palette for practice. For store-bought beads, convert a photo and pick that brand. Assemble on the desk Highlight one color, pinch to zoom, and tap cells as you place them. When a color is done, you can deduct it from inventory. Each artwork asks once. Palette, inventory, print Planet colors for practice; MARD 291, COCO (2.6mm), Perler, Hama, and Artkal for store beads. Export a PNG with codes, or a printable PDF split onto 29Γ29 pegboards with large board numbers. Brand palettes are community approximations (Bitbead, CC BY 4.0), not official manufacturer charts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Campfire at Free against DouXia's $0.99. Campfire also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.5). DouXia's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
