Ride to survive and improve your riding skills!Jump on a friendly T-rex and run through a world of dinosaurs! KidRex is an easy-to-learn endless runner made for kids aged 5+. Swipe up to jump over rocks and pits, swipe down to slide under the flying dino, roar to scare raptors away and throw your axe for a big SMASH. • Collect eggs: three eggs start a DINO DASH, nine eggs hatch a BABY DINO that runs with you — a raptor, a triceratops or a pterosaur, each with its own power. • Dress your dino: five skins (Blue, Gold, Green, Lava, Night) with their own sparkles. • Daily missions, a login streak with chests, badges and a DINO OF THE DAY fact card. • Surprises on the way: a triceratops stampede and a volcano eruption! Made for families: no accounts, no chat, no data collection. Short videos play only when your child taps WATCH for a bonus, and they are child-directed and non-personalised. A parental gate protects every link.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Drop In Nest at 4.2 against KidRex's 3.0. Drop In Nest also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 55 months) and ratings volume (246 vs 2). KidRex's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Drop In Nest holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drop In Nest has 246 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of KidRex's written reviews are positive against 50% of Drop In Nest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KidRex ships an update every 55 months, Drop In Nest every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
