# Dropout vs BOB Shrine

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BOB Shrine at none against Dropout's 2. BOB Shrine also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). Dropout's advantage is ratings volume (80K vs 14) and chart position (#59 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dropout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. BOB Shrine asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Dropout against 4.9 for BOB Shrine. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dropout has 80K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Dropout ships an update every 2 months, BOB Shrine every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
