# Raindrop.io vs Drafts

The clearest difference is rating: Drafts at 4.8 against Raindrop.io's 4.5. Drafts also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (11K vs 411). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raindrop.io sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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.

Drafts holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drafts has 11K ratings behind it against 411, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Raindrop.io's written reviews are positive against 70% of Drafts's.
