Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Draftable at none against DraftParty's 3. Draftable also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). DraftParty's advantage is rating (3.4 vs 3.0) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
