# Dragon Flight vs DRILL

The clearest difference is rating: DRILL at 4.3 against Dragon Flight's 3.6. DRILL also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 84). Dragon Flight's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 58%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dragon Flight sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and DRILL sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DRILL holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DRILL has 1.4K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Dragon Flight's written reviews are positive against 58% of DRILL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dragon Flight ships an update every 3 months, DRILL fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
