Read full description

Drop is a social app with no algorithm. Follow the people you choose and see what they post, newest first. When you've seen everything, you're all caught up. Made for creatives and the people who follow them: musicians, photographers, filmmakers, designers, illustrators and anyone who makes things. Everyone's welcome, including people who just want a calmer place to share with friends. A FEED THAT ENDS Your feed shows only the people you follow, in the order they posted. Nothing is pushed to the top or hidden. When you've seen it all, Drop says so, and nothing new appears until someone you follow posts again. SHARE WHAT YOU MAKE Post photos and videos, one or several at once, with a caption. Tag the people in them. Choose who sees each post: everyone, or just your followers. FIND PEOPLE ON PURPOSE Explore is its own tab, with creatives picked by the Drop team and search for people, tags and posts. It never spills into your feed. TALK TO PEOPLE Comments with replies, direct and group messages, and stories that last a day. YOU'RE IN CONTROL Public or private account, notifications you choose, and report and block when you need them. Free to join. We're letting people in a few at a time so Drop stays a good place to be, and you can look around Explore while you wait. Make something. Drop it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Drop at none against Open's 10. Drop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Open's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
