Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Dropset at none against Setgraph's shown. Dropset also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (78% vs 67%). Setgraph's advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 96) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Setgraph sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Dropset sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Setgraph holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Setgraph has 6.1K ratings behind it against 96, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Setgraph's written reviews are positive against 78% of Dropset's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Setgraph ships an update every 3 weeks, Dropset every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
