Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Drinkie at weekly against Caffeine++'s monthly. Drinkie also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Caffeine++'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
