At the beginning of each day, Draw Every Day gives you one blank canvas and a prompt. You have 24 hours to fill that canvas up with an ink drawing. The next day, your drawing is frozen, saved, and a new blank canvas and a new prompt appears. Every day is a new prompt, all year -- so you'll never run out of new ideas. Draw Every Day forces you to take it slow and steady, and records your progress over days and weeks -- as time goes on, you'll see how far you've come! • Simplicity Draw Every Day has 6 highly-tuned drawing tools, tweaked by professional artists. You can spend your time drawing, not hunting for the perfect brush settings. Most teachers and ateliers recommend learning to draw before learning to paint. Draw Every Day lets you learn the intricacies of black and white without the distraction of color. For a real ink experience, you can turn off undo, redo, and the eraser tool -- every mark can be permanent, just as if you were using india ink on paper. • Great for daily challenges Participating in a 30-day drawing challenge like Inktober, Drawloween, or Mer-may? Draw Every Day is a perfect tool to keep yourself on track. • Features - Optimized for iPad Pro and Apple Pencil - Works with Logitech Crayon - Draw in your spare moments on the iPhone with your fingers - Daily prompts, including Inktober prompts during October - Optional daily reminder notifications - Infinite undo and redo (even if you close the app) - 6 highly-tuned drawing tools: Fine-liner, smooth brush, rough brush, pencil, and eraser - 5 colors of ink - Left-handed and right-handed interfaces - Disable or enable the pencil, eraser, undo, and redo to make drawing more or less like real ink on paper - Several kinds of tinted paper - See a calendar of your progress over time

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Vanish at Free against Draw Every Day's $4.99. Vanish also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4). Draw Every Day's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 20 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
