# Spells List 5e vs Dropout

The clearest difference is monetization model: Dropout at free with in-app purchases against Spells List 5e's subscription. Dropout also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (77K vs 3.3K). Spells List 5e's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spells List 5e sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Dropout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dropout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dropout has 77K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Spells List 5e's written reviews are positive against 99% of Dropout's.

Spells List 5e ships an update every 3 weeks, Dropout every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
