Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Doodly.AI at none against Plotagon Story's shown. Doodly.AI also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (60% vs 51%). Plotagon Story's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 7) and rating (3.5 vs 3.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plotagon Story sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Doodly.AI sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Plotagon Story holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plotagon Story has 3.9K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Plotagon Story's written reviews are positive against 60% of Doodly.AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Plotagon Story ships an update every 5 weeks, Doodly.AI every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
