Both are free to download. Alphabetris sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Drop Thorns asks for nothing beyond the download.
Alphabetris holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alphabetris has 78 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Drop Thorns's written reviews are positive against 50% of Alphabetris's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
