Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dropout at 99% against D&D Beyond's 54%. Dropout also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). D&D Beyond's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
