Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DripDrip at 50% against Hydrate+'s 0%. DripDrip also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Hydrate+'s advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price and device support 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. Hydrate+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. DripDrip asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hydrate+ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DripDrip has 41 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of DripDrip's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hydrate+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DripDrip ships an update monthly, Hydrate+ every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
