# Cheatsheet vs Drafts

The clearest difference is update cadence: Drafts at every 4 days against Cheatsheet's every 2 weeks. Drafts also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 1.9K) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.4). Cheatsheet's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 70%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cheatsheet sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Drafts sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Cheatsheet against 4.8 for Drafts. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drafts has 11K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Cheatsheet's written reviews are positive against 70% of Drafts's.

Cheatsheet ships an update every 2 weeks, Drafts every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
