Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Ascent Spire at every 2 days against DropPoint's every 4 months. Ascent Spire also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). DropPoint's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
