# Strategery vs Dropcaps

The clearest difference is rating: Dropcaps at 4.4 against Strategery's 3.9. Dropcaps also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and price ($1.99 vs $4.99). Strategery's advantage is ratings volume (342 vs 5). On review sentiment, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Strategery costs $4.99 and Dropcaps $1.99 up front. Strategery sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Dropcaps asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dropcaps holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strategery has 342 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Strategery's written reviews are positive against 67% of Dropcaps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
