# BulletDrop+ vs DOPE

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DOPE at 100% against BulletDrop+'s 51%. DOPE also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). BulletDrop+'s advantage is ratings volume (83 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BulletDrop+ sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and DOPE sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DOPE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BulletDrop+ has 83 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of BulletDrop+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of DOPE's.

BulletDrop+ ships an update every 4 months, DOPE weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
