Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tricky Holes at 67% against Drop Jelly's 16%. Tricky Holes also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Drop Jelly's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (7.6K vs 22). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Drop Jelly holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drop Jelly has 7.6K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Tricky Holes's written reviews are positive against 16% of Drop Jelly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tricky Holes ships an update every 3 weeks, Drop Jelly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
