# Doodraw vs PuppetPad

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PuppetPad at 100% against Doodraw's 42%. PuppetPad also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Doodraw's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 2) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doodraw sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and PuppetPad sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PuppetPad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doodraw has 34 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of Doodraw's written reviews are positive against 100% of PuppetPad's.

Doodraw ships an update monthly, PuppetPad every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
