Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Thunderbird Strike at none against Drop Color Joy's 20. Thunderbird Strike also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (53% vs 29%). Drop Color Joy's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 39). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Drop Color Joy sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Thunderbird Strike asks for nothing beyond the download.
Drop Color Joy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drop Color Joy has 2.3K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Thunderbird Strike's written reviews are positive against 29% of Drop Color Joy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
