Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PlayDrop at Free against Action Hero's $0.99. PlayDrop also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 15 months). Action Hero's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.6). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
