# Tricky Holes vs Drop Jelly

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.

Both are free to download. Tricky Holes sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Drop Jelly sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
