Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Draft Paper at 4.4 against Line's 3.3. Draft Paper also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (16K vs 8). Line's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
