# DROP'd vs Boba Run

The clearest difference is update cadence: Boba Run at every 4 weeks against DROP'd's every 3 months. Boba Run also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). DROP'd's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 146) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DROP'd sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Boba Run sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for DROP'd against 4.4 for Boba Run. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DROP'd has 1.5K ratings behind it against 146, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of DROP'd's written reviews are positive against 81% of Boba Run's.

DROP'd ships an update every 3 months, Boba Run every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
