Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tower Dropper at none against Patience Balls's 7. Tower Dropper also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%).

Both are free to download. Patience Balls sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Tower Dropper asks for nothing beyond the download.
Patience Balls holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Patience Balls has 576 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Patience Balls's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tower Dropper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Patience Balls ships an update every 3 weeks, Tower Dropper every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
