Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Dropout at free with in-app purchases against 2nd try's subscription. Dropout also leads on ratings volume (77K vs 7.1K) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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. Dropout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and 2nd try sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Dropout against 5.0 for 2nd try. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dropout has 77K ratings behind it against 7.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 99% and 99% positive.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
