# Pocket God vs Dropout

The clearest difference is price: Dropout at Free against Pocket God's $0.99. Dropout also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (99% vs 72%). Pocket God's advantage is chart position (#2 vs #55) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 16.6). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Dropout is free to download; Pocket God costs $0.99 up front. Pocket God sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Dropout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dropout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dropout has 80K ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Pocket God's written reviews are positive against 99% of Dropout's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
