# Draft Paper vs 3D Snap

The clearest difference is rating: Draft Paper at 4.4 against 3D Snap's 3.9. Draft Paper also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (51% vs 32%). 3D Snap's advantage is chart position (#155 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Draft Paper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 3D Snap sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Draft Paper holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Draft Paper has 16K ratings behind it against 535, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Draft Paper's written reviews are positive against 32% of 3D Snap's.

Draft Paper ships an update every 2 weeks, 3D Snap every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
