# Dropophone vs Mynth

The clearest difference is rating: Mynth at 4.8 against Dropophone's 3.8. Mynth also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 67 months) and device support (4 vs 2). Dropophone's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.3 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mynth sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Dropophone asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mynth holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 44 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Dropophone's written reviews are positive against 83% of Mynth's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dropophone ships an update every 67 months, Mynth monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
