Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Digext at 100% against Raindrop.io's 65%. Digext also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Raindrop.io's advantage is ratings volume (411 vs 11) and iOS requirement (17.5 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raindrop.io sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Digext sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Digext holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raindrop.io has 411 ratings behind it against 11, 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 100% of Digext's.
Raindrop.io ships an update every 2 weeks, Digext every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
